Hello All,

I have been avoiding writing a proper post for some time (- hang on, just grabbing a glass of Christmas Amaretto - that's better -) for no particlar reason other than lack of inspiration and winter sadness. Winter is a funny time. Lots of people I speak to swear they suffer from S.A.D., and it's the weather and darkness that gets everyone down. I can't wait until the spring/summer - a bit of light in the evenings gives you some motivation to do more than just grab a dressing gown and turn into a couch vegetable as soon as you walk in the door.

I'm going to have more to say soon I hope, so bear with me. In the mean time, here's a couple of family photos:

Polo can hear a fridge door opening from 5 miles away. And yes. You are not mistaken. We have a Monopoly quiz machine in our kitchen.
