sorry about the delay, all to do with computer virus and waiting for broadband - you don't want to know!! Anyway, we haven't done anything exciting lately. But I'll put on a few photos for you to see. ... read more

and in with the older! Our old Rayburn cooker developed a leak in its boiler before Christmas ( rather a nuisance as it tended to put the fire out), and after a lot of thought we decided to get a smaller older Rayburn to replace it. There were several reasons which we won't go into!!! Anyway, today was the day to do the deed - luckily I was at work for some of the time, as there's never anywhere to go when there are plumbers in the house. And I'm very pleased with the result - well the look of it anyway. Can't light the fire till tomorrow when the fire cement has had a chance to dry off. That will be the test, won't it? If you don't hear from me again............ read more

We haven't had as much snow as most parts of Britain, but enough to make everything look pretty. So this is what we did this morning - walked through the woods and built a snowman in the middle of nowhere! ... read more

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. ... read more

sadly we forgot to take the camera with us to the pub last night, so there are no photos of the jollity there. But Alex recorded today's chilly - if not freezing - walk with some friends who live nearby, called Andrew and Wendy. We always make a point of seeing them over Christmas, and new years day is actually their wedding anniversary. Congratulations on 37 years!... read more

The sun shone on the frosty grass and it looked beautiful. No wind, so it didn't feel so cold, and no coat required. This is taken from our field looking across the valley - which is the view from the front of the house just about. The white house is my hairdresser's, so not far to go! She works from home. Also, photo of Liz and Jerry, when they came up a couple of weeks ago. ... read more

Cousin Jeremy paid an unexpected call today, to see how Mum was getting on. He drove up from Devon to see Roland, and decided to drive the extra bit to visit Mum too. So here is the evidence. ... read more

Last night was the third night in a row that it rained continuously, though the days have been nice - and today was lovely. Anyway, the rivers rose and took the usual shortcuts across the fields and over the roads. So the intrepid photographers set out to capture the drama!... read more
