An unusually snowy start to the New Year, for us. The world has turned into a winter wonderland - all pale blue and white, flushed with pink, and the air sharp and pure.

We’ve had a quiet time, as is the norm. Travel during December and January is notoriously unreliable, so we opted to stay at home. Exams are on the horizon too.

I haven’t really much to say today, other than Happy New Year to anyone reading. I really just wanted to drop in and type up some sort of post. It’s a few months since I have written anything. I normally use the app on my phone to do this, but it hasn’t been working properly - the app, not the phone - and to haul out the laptop is sometimes too much hassle at the end of the day..

But, I do enjoy blogging - documenting the ordinary stuff that I get up to, so I’m going to try and make more of an effort, and post at least once a week. It will be the usual things - what I did, cooked, read, kind of thing. Did I get the laundry hung out or not? Have the brassica seeds sprouted? You know - cliffhangers like that.
