Whilst we were enjoying lovely warm temperatures by the Indian Ocean our house (near Yeovilton in Somerset where the temperature dropped to minus 13C) survived three weeks of frost and snow unscathed. The elderly oil fired boiler kept on working and we had no leaks of pipe bursts. At their home in Bedfordshire Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie made good use of their Volvo 4 X 4 in the deep snow and ice and enjoyed Christmas and New Year with Claire's parents as guests and Claire's brother and his family on Christmas Day. We are looking forward to hearing more about their Christmas, and seeing their presents and photographs, when we stay with them soon for the wedding blessing of a Scouting friend. But more of that later. Above is a photo of Thomas, Sophie and Jenny, about to start an Olympic race when they stayed with us in August.
