Happy New Year

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I feel blessed that I can say that I certainly did have a wonderful Christmas.  An amazing few days away spending quality time with family.  I have some beautiful memories to treasure.  Thankfully it was a very mild Christmas weather wise so we were able to get out and about even going to the Dinosaur Park on the hunt for the infamous Santa Claus.  It was quite the adventure.   Wilbur really did believe he had seen Santa when Grandad went for a stroll in the garden dressed in the Santa outfit.  Memories made for a special little boy that will stay with him.   It was lovely to see so many traditions still carried out with additional ones added, a real delight to be part of.





 
The temperatures have dropped significantly since our return and we have been shrouded in a sea of fog, making for some beautiful photographs from the warmth of the dining room.
 
 
The shed roof and pavements have been covered in a thick layer of frost, Jack frost has certainly been busy making the roads quite treacherous as there was an abundance of frozen puddles underneath. 
 




 
Still no sign of snow and none forecast for the foreseeable future and now that the holiday season is over I for one will be relieved if it stays that way.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful comments, e-mails, gifts and cards I feel blessed that you included me in your thoughts at this time of year.  I really do value the time you spend visiting my humble blog.   I haven't been around for a little while but will endeavour to catch up with you over the next few days.
 
Wishing you everything that you wish for yourselves for the coming year. 
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
 
See you soon.

  8. It sounds like a wonderful time you had with your family. I read my husband the story of Santa in the garden and he smiled. Grandchildren really are the best! Your frosty pictures look like I could've taken them in my yard. Although we do have the snow added to ours. I hope you have a wonderful and happy new year my friend.
    Blessings, Betsy

  12. That is a wonderful hat you're wearing. I bought a cloche recently, but it is too cold just now...I am wearing an old hunter's cap. So glad that you had a fine Christmas. grandchildren really help it feel all the more special. The frost is pretty and also treacherous. Glad that you don't have to be out in it.

  30. It often surprises me that although we live across the pond from each other, the land/weather can be very similar. I have yet to visit the dinosaur park south of us, and I never thought to check to see Santa there :) I'm so glad you had a happy Christmas celebration!
