Scout Cam Update

Last post from the pear tree as I'm just about to move the camera to the bird table to try to get some day time colour shots. Haven't seen much lately in the garden but the snowdrops have started to push up through but no sign of the bluebells yet that I put in last year under the trees to create my bluebell wood!

Weekend in Peterborough

Our final Christmas celebration was very delayed because of the Christmas snow and then available weekends! But hey it was nice to spread it all out a bit! Henry looked very smart in his new glasses and immediately set about building his Lego model that we bought him. Strangely Rachel and I exchanged very similar gifts proving the saying that great minds think alike.

Walker Christmas 2010

There was once a time when all the nieces and nephews could fit on the stairs quite comfortably, but not any longer. Four out of five of them are now taller than me. Shall have to start wearing heels around them. Mind you there has never been a time when, in the taking of this traditional photo, that all of them have been looking at the camera at the same time! You would think they could manage it by now.

Happy 18th Birthday, Fred.

18 years ago today Amanda thought it was just a dodgy mince pie giving her indigestion, then a little later along came Fred! We all celebrated his birthday together with a specially chosen menu of French soup and steak sandwiches! Congratulations Fred.

My, my, what big feet you have!

Always wondered why I had difficulty putting Jonathan's socks on when he was little!

Christmas Eve in Duns Tew

The village in the snow was picture postcard pretty with snow on the fields and icicles galore hanging from the eves of the houses and cottages. The temperature was dropping under a clear sky and a warm cup of mulled wine was certainly welcome to keep us warm. Christmas came slightly early as Charlotte and Imogen were allowed to open our presents but not before we had checked where Santa was on the Santa Tracker. (Cambodia, if you are interested!). Did you know he travels at 650 miles a second?

Snow News

No more snow overnight but temperatures below freezing mean it all still remains!
