We welcomed 2007 this year around the fire-place, warm and cosy inside, no need for air-conditioning. That's a bit of a change, especially for Phoebe, this is her first British-european-northern-hemisphere winter... for me it's been only 6 years ago. So for Phoebe there were no carols in the domain, no picnic rugs, no wiggles singing "Go santa go!", no sand, no surf, no SUN!!! (only on a rare occasion a glimpse of sunlight breaks through the fog)
On the other hand we did experience some light frost, we sighted many squirrels, we had Dutch olie-bollen for new years, sang a lot of old english Christmas carrols, tried some malt wine, and enjoyed staring into the crackling fire. No snow yet, but we're still hopefull!
Anyway... there's a fresh new year ahead of us!
