Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all my friends and readers (though I don't doubt I have friends, I do doubt I have readers! C'est la vie!). 2011, hey? Who would have thought it possible during the Cold War or during the World Wars, but here we are.

As I write this, it is totally tipping it down in rain, but I am much happier about that than the recent snow we have had. Even in London. Rain isn't too cold; rain doesn't make you slip up (well, not if you're careful); rain doesn't stop services (well, not in England); and rain is what this country needs sometimes - freshen up the trees and plants.

I'll try and blog a bit more over the forthcoming year, but may I wish you a very happy new year.
