How do everyone. Happy New Year.

As a token 'southerner' it has been quite bad down here and it started early too. On the 18/12 the temp reading in the car was -10c! I drove up to Scotland on the 29th with the kids and Ashley and what should have been a 6 hour drive took 14 hours and the same on the way back. :roll: That said we had a blast in the snow. Living in East Anglia (more or less) it's almost as flat as Holland so no sledging. However, my cousin and I built two sledges out of old ski's he got for nothing, some metal from a table and two motorbike seats. Great fun over at Chatelherault until I faceplanted going down the hill headfirst. :lol:

I hope everyone is well (and your luck improves Brian)

Yep, Khan was out in the back garden today and started barking like hell. Went out and there was a polar bear rummaging in the dustbin.

Gave him a leg of lamb out of the freezer, and he wandered off to eat it. Big bugger though.

Things are great generally. Been having a few health issues this last 5 months so been out of circulation more than usual. Hope you're well tut.

There's every chance of us making tt2010. When is it?

Cheers
