New Year, New Ideas

Happy New Year


Thank goodness all the madness of Christmas is over. All the craft fairs just left me shattered and the weather was unbelievable!

It was so cold that last week before Christmas Day, never getting above minus double figures and oh goodness the snow. I want to say it's better now but all I can say is that it's milder, but still very cold.

After all the delightful excess of Christmas, with loads of chocolate, my OH and I have embarked on our usual cut-back January. No chocolate/crisps for two weeks (half way there already), no Chinese (or any fast food for that matter) for the whole month - this one is the killer and still a long way to go. It isn't really a hardship and it's always worth it at the end.

The hunt for a horse continues. I have a lead on one but the weather is getting in the way. Updates to follow.

One piece of sad news was the passing of our little rabbit. We had Snowball for over 8 years. He had been very sick throughout his life but a real fighter. He lived much longer than we, or the vet, had expected him too but towards the end he was very poorly. We took the sad decision to have him put to sleep, as he had stopped eating or drinking. Much loved and never forgotten.
