Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone :)

2010 has arrived and it will be an interesting year for us I think with lots of change (like a change of county) and new starts so should be exciting :)

Christmas here was lovely, very quiet with just the two of us but that made it so relaxing. Much as we love being in chch fro Christmas and we love our families, rushing around between them all on Christmas day is hectic and only having to walk down the road to church in the morning then not leave the house for the rest of the day was amazing!!! I cooked us turkey and roast veg and all the trimmings and as J doesn't like Christmas pud we had a chocolate Yule Log instead which was yum. No snow as it had all melted but close enough.

We were both off work between Christmas and New Years and very much enjoyed having a break. We managed to catch up with loads of people we haven't seen in ages and so had a really social time, as well as fitting in lots of sleep ins :)

New Years Eve we helped out at the night shelter, a great bunch of helpers that night as Rio and Tom brought along some friends. Then afterwards we went to the pub for a drink and back to Tom's very flash flat to see in the new year. We had a really lovely time and its so nice to get to know new friends a bit better. As we walked home there was a very light sprinkling of snow on the ground.

Back to work now and its been snowing lots again today with more forecast tonight. Again its causing havoc everywhere with most of the country blanketed in white. Today I'm not wishing for more as Juliet flys out back home tonight if her plane will leave, and we're heading up to the lakes district tomorrow evening.

Its only 6 1/2 weeks till we leave, can't believe its so soon, and I know it will go really quick.
