Welcome back, blog followers. Time has truly run away with me for the last ........... months, so rather than spend hours trying to catch up in logical order with all our highs lows and adventures since I last wrote, I will display a flavour of life up here since December!

In common with many of you, we had lots of snow! Lots and lots of snow. Our comedy drive and toy cars meant that we were parked on the road for 6 weeks - sledging children and groceries up and down. Poor Ned is still a bit short for this depth of snow, and was frequently boot-filled. Not impressed!
