As seems to be the tradition for the last few years, it's back to school just in time for my birthday. It's technically not the first day back as yesterday was a training day, but the first day back with students nonetheless. So the cards and presents waited until the end of the day, but we'll find sometime to celebrate properly at the weekend which is now one day closer.

Christmas and New Year were good and it was great to catch up with family and spend some time relaxing. We managed to get out ice skating twice - in Nottingham, between Christmas and New Year, and outside the Natural History museum on New Year's Day. Skating outside the museum was very picturesque with all the surrounding trees lit up with sparkling white lights. Sadly, no pictures though as I was working hard not to fall over. We had a lot of fun but as always it was over too soon.

I've added pictures of some of the highlights to the Christmas album linked below. Happy New Year everyone!  

. . . he's checking it twice! Christmas is nearly here and we have begun the Christmas travels. Today we went to Baddesley Clinton a National Trust house and gardens to admire their Christmas decorations which were rather nice. They had small decorations for each of the twelve days of Christmas dotted around the house.

Dani took advantage of the chance to make her own Christmas decorations and we generally had a nice potter about. Only two more get-ups!
