Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, thank you for your support and all those kind and encouraging comments you have made this year. "blog sharing" has made a big difference to so many of us, giving an insight into our different lives and the art we do, allowing us to access skills and techniques and do a little "showing off" on our own behalf.
Have a peaceful and productive 2011 and I look forward to visiting you all online if not in the flesh!

about time I caught up

It's been a while since I got around to blogging, it's amazing sometimes how little time remains at the end of each day.

Ididn't go to Holland this year for Sintaklaas, but I hear that he arrived safely despite the frost and snow. Izzie seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the experience again, it's amazing that she is now four and awaiting the arrival of a sister early next year. Nicholas and Florine's baby Jake arrived eight weeks early and thanks to the splendid care he is receiving in hospital is making great strides towards going home. I know this is an old picture of Sintaklaas but it's the only one I have!

We are in the grip of a really cold spell, the snow has mostly gone locally but you can see from the picture that the frost still has us in it's grip.
