Julian came back on Boxing day from a three week trip to Sydney for Jodie and Pete's wedding. He had a fantastic time catching up with friends and family, including meeting Aimee and Mattias for the first time and seeing the lovely (much larger!) Mya and Evie.

Our wedding pictures that have Julian leaping like a gazelle through some long grass were taken just beside this road!

We not only had a white christmas, but a white advent (the last week of it anyway), a white boxing day, new year, first week of term.... in fact, the snow is ongoing, when will it stop? The scenery is beautiful, but the roads and pavements can be treacherous when it ices over!
