Sun 10th Jan 2010


This morning while waiting for our friends to get up Dave and I took a walk. I took this picture minutes from our hotel of Nelsons Column. No snow here which is strange considering the amount we saw on the journey down yesterday.

Sat 9th Jan 2010



A night out in London with friends at the comedy store. Fab comedians, we laughed so much. Then a few drinks before heading back to the hotel.

Friday 8th Jan 2010


ICICLES hanging from the window. In 20 years living here we have never seen this before. Goes to show just how cold it is at the moment.

The view from the office this morning. None of us were driving far today. Only emergency visits but plenty to do on the computer!

Wednesday 6th Jan 2010



Woke to thick snow this morning, looks pretty but dreading driving in it.

Tuesday 5th Jan 2010


My nephew Josephs 5th birthday and I had taken the day off to visit and take pressies. But snow forecast and weather warnings in place so sadly I had to cancell my plans. I got to the petrol station on my way when the snow began so turned home. Decided to make a visit to petsmart to buy some fat balls and peanuts for the garden birds in case the snow is bad.

Monday 4th Jan 2010


Back to work after a lovely long break over christmas and the new year. Minus 5 degrees it was freezing Brrrr

Today I went in to the city centre with Aimee and the kids. We stopped off for a drink ar Starbucks. My new favourite place for a coffee. Aimee likes the frappacinos.

Jan 1st 2010



Day one of 2010.

The Chateauneuf-du-Pape, how long will it last?

I got to July in my quest to blog a photo a day for a year in 2009. Not a bad effort but my good friend Val managed the whole year.

Spurred on by her brilliant acheivement I am challenging myself to get further this year.

So here goes, wish me luck!

Lins in one of her poses! 5 weeks to go before Freya should arrive!

Saturday 18th July

Went down to visit my sisters for the weekend and to help my niece Lins move into her new flat. Came accross this lavender field today. You could smell it from a distance absolutely breathtaking colour. Loved the contrast of the trees against the lavender.

Saturday 20th June

One last look at the casino as we left for the airport!

Friday 19th June

Took this while lying on the sunbed around the lazy river at MGM. It hit 100 degrees today, too hot to sit in for long.

Thursday 18th

Took this of the lion at MGM. They say that they are kept at a ranch approx 12 miles from the strip. Beautiful to look at but not sure I agree with the captivity and showing them this way.
