The Buchans 2010: Christmas Roundup

Early December took us to the first of our Christmas festivities. We went to lunch with our Portsmouth friends.

I won’t list everyone since you know who you are.

We’ve had some very interesting weather this December as has the rest of the UK. Here is a photo from one of the better days.

Ponies on Rockford Common

Peter and Sue - chez nous

Sorry about the yellowy photo, but that’s what the ‘candlelight’ setting does for it. Not too good. the subjects make up for it!

Then the snow came for a second time. View from the bedroom window before the rush hour began. I went back to bed.

Out walking with ski sticks (walking poles) I thought I would never use them (Glyn - remember Lidl in France). They have had plenty of use recently.

Geocaching is very difficult with loads of snow on the ground, but we managed to do this one. We went to the pub (High Corner Inn) afterwards for a hot chocolate.

Snowy logs – just in case you hadn’t guessed

Ringwood in the snow

Sue all togged up for the snow.

We were very kindly invited to Jane and Ron’s for Christmas and Boxing Day lunches. We were very well fed with scrumptious food and I drank some very nice wines. We stayed overnight so that I didn’t have to drive back on Christmas Day. Thanks for a great time.
