A really happy Christmas to you all, and my very best wishes for a succesful and happy year ahead to you and your families.

Off to France to spend Christmas with my son and the family, a second child is due end of January, so taking big supplies of homemade cake/mince pies etc.made by Margaret in the village, who also makes your cakes and shortbread. A greatly superior standard of baking than I could ever hope to reach.

Here's a photo of the snow we had just recently, more is forecast for the end of the week. Birds requiring at least 4 meals daily. Love to you all, Louise and Collies
