frozen waterfall

---

Today dawned as chilly as the last 10 or so! And we decided to visit one of the seven wonders of Wales, a waterfall fairly nearby, which I'm told is as high as Niagara, but obviously not as wide! Anyway, always spectacular, especially when festooned with icicles. The road up the valley was covered in ice and required careful driving, but we arrived safely, and walked round the hill to the top of the fall. It was in sunshine, but a bitter wind. Sorry to hear that the antipodean relations are suffering with the heat, we could send you a cooling blast!!. We got home again to a power cut, so had to cook tea by candlelight, then listened to the (battery) transistor radio.

the water cascades over at the left of this picture, but it wasn't safe to go close - too slippery.

Frozen Assets
Hello Carry and Alex wow!! what amazing photographs with frozen rivers and water fall - we have just suffered............... a tropical heat wave not only high temperatures in the mid thirties Centigrade but extreme humidity!!!!!!!! As this title indicates I hope your assets are not being affected or frozen with the current worldwide economical climate - I have had to re-think our financial planning with some minor adjustments to prepare for my immenent retirement if Robyn permits. The children are playing cricket in the garden adjacent to your cottage whilst I am watching SA and Australia fight out their final test. What is going to happen with english the cricket coach and captain?? it appears one will have to go - just like me! Bye for now lots of love say hello from me to your mum (grandma) and dad (grandpa) and a very happy new year to you both. xxLeigh

Christmas/New Year
Glad to see you all had a great Christmas. We had a great day at mum's place where there was the gathering of the clan (well, not quite all of us - but a good representation. The following Saturday we had another get together at Pat and Kerry's and caught up with their kids and grandkids. Christmas wasn't too hot this year, in fact it was rather pleasant. However, since then it has got hotter and hotter. Today was 34 degrees - a real stinker. Happy New Year to all our Welsh rellies.
