Hello!


Happy New Year guys and gals! Hope it's a good one for you. I can't believe a month has wizzed by!
This is Jesse, wearing his new hat! very dashing.

I have just returned from visiting my family and friends in England ~ my Grandma is on the mend, out of Hospital, but now has to cope with a Rehabilitation Nursing Home, until deemed fit to return home... at 98 she's doing a fine job!

It was wonderful being home for a while....  I forgot how narrow the roads were, and how many bikes there are!
I can really appreciate the beauty of my hometown Cambridge now, especially since I don't have to deal with the rush hour traffic!

Cambridge City Centre~ market square

Kings College








Never thought I'd miss seeing a telephone box and post box!
and finally, The River Cam.........

  7. The River Cam!!!!! That photo took my breath away, Abi. Did you honestly take that shot? It's so frosty and ethereal looking. Kind of like looking through gossamer silk at a beautiful snowy waterscape. Oh my. I just love it. All the photos were extraordinary, but the river one... Oh!
