Happy New Year




Last night we managed to stay awake until midnight, walked down the village listening to the church bells bringing in the New Year and feeling we were missing out on some company. We only met one person to give our Happy New Year to. Everyone else was tucked up inside their houses because of the freezing weather. Today (-2) we went for an afternoon drive to see what Jack Frost had been doing round about, and it was beautiful. Such silvery, lacy filigree work everywhere with muted shades of green and brown. Hot chocolate and a teacake by a pub's blazing fire to conclude.
HoF has worked out that we need eight new appliances for the kitchen and is researching like mad for the best models and trying to reconcile this with the best price. So if you have any recommendations for white goods (more inclined to be black or stainless steel these days) please let us know.
I've discovered another possible perk for the aged: free swimming for the over 60's. Tomorrow I will investigate and see what the snag is.

We are having trouble even thinking of 8 different appliances! Do enlighten us, and we'll tell you what you don't need :)

(Happy New Year by the way!)
