Happy Christmas.
We've really enjoyed receiving all of your Christmas cards this year; it's been lovely to see that we are still remembered.

We're in the middle of a cold spell and we have had temperatures down to -10 one night. But, this morning we woke up to snow.
Yesterday, once the frost had gone, we decided to plant up the Arbour. We got on very well as I'd already dug the holes, and, happily I didn't have to do much work at making them any bigger. By the evening we only had 3 more roses to plant. So, when we woke up this morning and no frost, we rushed out to finish the job.
It's that time of year again, and Sue has been roaming the hills looking for dead trees suitable to make an 'arty-farty' Christmas Tree.
All I've got to do now is find a small spotlight and rig it up to shine on the tree (just to make sure that Father Christmas doesn't miss it).
Just when the weather is about to become seasonal, with frosts every morning, the roses have arrived. We were wandering around in our dressing-gowns this morning (well it does stay dark till gone 8 o'clock) when I noticed a large lorry trying to turn round so that he could reverse up the hill to us. Frantic dressing ensued, but not really required as it was only two smallish boxes containing all of our roses.
