Jan 9

Hi all,

I am on my way back to the UK after spending a delightful month with family and friends in Canada. Thanks to all who have hosted me and been so kind.

The boat is nearly finished and will have an entirely new look- pics will be posted as soon as possible. As far as I know, it hasn’t floated away in the rains which have made parts of Britain look like a swamp. I will try and bring the sunshine I am experiencing in Ottawa (but not the temperatures that go with that!). There is something absolutely special about walking in the snow that crunches underfoot, while snow-diamonds twinkle across the fields and lawns. Every place I visit has it’s own special circumstances and surroundings: I find peace and beauty in them all.

I wish each reader the very best for 2014. Please feel free to comment or email me: I appreciate hearing from you!

Take care.  Ed
