Walk to the pub!

Yep - that is what we'll do - walk to the pub since the snow looks so beautiful and the sky is now so blue. It takes us 30 minutes to walk from Nocton to Potterhansworth. It is beautiful and the snow is extraordinarily crisp and powdery. We take photos, we pose, we shoot some film.

We get to the pub. It's closed i.e. not going to open. We know not why! No pub grub for us today!

More snow and then some more.

Snow and snow and snow!

Well all our plans are out of the window with the snow we've been getting. Today, though we had planned to go nowhere - just to have a good Sunday roast at home - which is what we're doing.
Also need to talk to G about whether she is staying on to travel to Barnsley with us on Thursday or to go back sooner. I think the weather will be the determiner!

Decision virtually made - G will go back by train on Monday all being well with the snowfalls in the Lincoln area.

Saturday 2nd January and we've planned to go to Doddington for a Brunch. But the snow's been coming down and we can't get very far today. So it's batten down the hatches and watch some sport on TV!!!!!!

Had a lovely evening at Nocton with friends D & B and Carol's mother. We ate well, watched a little TV, chatted a lot and saw the New Year in with a glass of Champagne. Parfait!

End of this year.....bring on the New.......

We're not far off from celebrating the end of 2009 and re-energizing ourselves for the next 12 months and all they may bring.

I suppose the most important events in our last year have been selling up in France and settling into Nocton our new base. It's been traumatic at times, limiting, exhilarating, disappointing. I'm glad to be settled though and I'm looking forward to a rewarding 2010!
