Chisato and Michika

We don't see the boys very often and so at every visit we marvel at how well they are doing.

Snowy winter

This year has seen us have more snow than for many years. Although we couldn't oblige Lily when she visited in December and had to resort to a trip to the city centre and artificial snow for a photo opportunity.

February started with a heavy snowfull and whilst family and friends enjoyed themselves making snowmen, igloos and snow angels we kept ourselves warm inside. Our two dogs reacted very differently; Buster not wanting to put a paw outside and Lady fussing to be out in the garden at every opportunity.

After 10 days of freezing temperatures and treacherous roads and paths we have been very glad to see the snow gradually melt away.
