The first meal from my new Crockpot! Slow cooking is new

to me but I can see it becoming a firm favourite.

A cold bite to the wind today so we opted for the easy

around Tunstall Forest!!

New Years Eve.

I love this time of the year - looking back at all the good and not so good times of the old year and looking forward to everything the new year offers.

Lots of plans and possibilities, lots of friends and family to catch up with, and lots of new things to see and do.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Postcrossing - Taking part in the postcard exchange is really taking off. I have now sent 13 cards and received 10. I received this one from China this morning - The Forbidden City, Beijing in winter. I think it's rather lovely.

A day of surprises! While spending the afternoon with one sister and her family my other sister made a surprise visit. Great to see them both at the same time!

Thanks for the beautiful flowers Sylv.
