What a lovely picture!!! We are freezing here, as usual. Went to the north coast yesterday to visit family and the streets were under 4 inches of ice. Now they say we could face temps of minus 18C. Ho ho ho... I have drunk the cooking brandy and eaten most of a tin of Quality Street, and I do not even like brandy or Quality Street - I prefer sparkling wine and Ferero Rocher... Dermot bought me a lovely necklace and a Bagpuss microwave beanbag and 2 MUSE CDs. Alice got Benefit make-up and art materials. Dermot got a Tim Burton book - it's a huge thing with over 1,000 illustrations. I was going to keep it myself but he likes art more than I do so I did the decent thing. Thanks for your lovely card. Happy New Year!!!
