Sorry :(

I've been terrible at keeping this up-to-date, and only a bit better with my photo albums. But once again, I've finally caught up, so now you can catch up on, amongst other things, our Christmas pictures. Oh... and I suppose you heard we've had a bit of snow?

Judging by my photos, the snowfall started on the 17th of December. There was a partial thaw just before Christmas, but it snowed again on Christmas Eve. Then another almost complete thaw on New Year's Day, with a heavy snow fall the following day. The last time it snowed was the 13th of January, and the snow has now finally gone from the village (although you can still see some up on the tops). I love the snow when it is fresh and crisp, but it's horrendous when it partially thaws then refreezes. The last few days before it finally disappeared were the worst, when the footpaths were like ice rinks...
