New Years Eve: Bowness Bay,Cumbria

A rainy night didnt put us off going to Bowness Bay along with heaps of other locals for champagne and fireworks on the lake shore to bring in the new year!

Christmas Lunch: High Carley, Cumbria

Today we had Christmas lunch at home with Wayne and Lois but with roast lamb instead of turkey - just for a change!

oh.... and yes the cat got in on the act too!

Christmas Lunch: Han Family, Surrey

Ian and I travelled down to Copse End on Boxing Day and today went to Tin and Liz's for another Christmas gathering this time with the Han family, we opened presents, ate lunch and drank champagne with Christmas cake.....

Christmas Day Morning: High Carley, Cumbria

Ian and I were up early thanks to 2 excited dogs who couldn't wait to open thier presents - mainly lots of squeaky toys and dogs treats.......

Luckily we'd decided to sleep by the stove so the fire was already going and the champagne was close to hand!

Christmas Day Lunch: Kemp Family, Cheshire

We travelled down to Marple, Cheshire to Ian's mum and dad's and had a traditional Christmas lunch with Ian's family - Ann, Cliff, Chris and Juliet.

Christmas Eve: Langdale

All I am going to say is it was beautiful....

Winter Solstice

The temperature here has been hovering between -3 and -6 for the last 10 days or so.

Looks very pretty.....

High Carley: Winter Woods

We went for a walk down to the woods today - very cold and frosty but with lots of sunshine......

the walk down.....

the view to the meadow......

The beck and deer in the meadow.....

very peaceful, very relaxing and just us!
