First off, Happy New Year.

I’m back from a magical few days in Poland.

Truth be told we were snow hunting.  A white Christmas seemed like just the job after our times in the tropics.  The colder the better.  In truth though while the temperature dropped to minus six there were little more than a few flakes of snow (although long-frozen stuff was to be seen on the ground).

Now, back in Newcastle, typically we’re surrounded by the stuff.  As I look out my office window I can see something approaching a blizzard.  Bring it on.  I always did love snow.

No pics yet of the Toon in it’s new winter wonderland white elegance.  But here’s some from the Polish trip.  Oh and I can well and truly recommend a trip to Krakow.

All the pics here.
