Happy Christmas 2010

I'm cheating here, photo taken early in 2010
We're having a great time back in the UK with Nad & Peep, catching up with family, friends and ex-colleagues. Snow is everywhere and the temperature below freezing, even down to -10°C the other morning! This fantastic Christmas tree was in Sheffield.

Trees are silver silhouettes. the early morning and late afternoon sun casting a wonderful pink glow on everything.
Whilst ducks and pigeons attempt to skate, swans find a hole in the frozen ice on the canal at Saltaire.

Back to Bingley! The old market place in the town centre. We were very impressed by the new market.

Kate has continued Dad's tradition of sharing daffodils with the family. That's snow outside Gill & Andy's window - house-sitting is cool!

Pink champagne apéritif is de rigeur before Christmas lunch!

Look carefully at the glasses here - thanks Silv!
