Happy New Year everyone! I realise I have been most lax with my blog recently and hereby resolve not to let this happen again in 2008.
Despite our hearty New Year's Eve celebration - I wore pyjamas and we drank cava and red wine aplenty - I felt fine enough by 4pm yesterday to go on the walk that Matt insisted upon: it would 'do me good' as he put it, although I would've been just as happy to skulk indoors.
Getting up to the land above our house is always a bit of a trek, never helped by the fact that Matt seems to glide effortlessly up on his long legs while I puff and pant and struggle to keep up. I usually have a good moan about it and then enjoy myself once I'm up there. It's hard not to, especially with the weather we've been enjoying recently.
Finally up there, and yes, I admit it, it was worth it (but I'll still complain about the walk up next time).
Naked trees
The lake catches the sun's light
More disrobed trees
It's not so bad when you have company.

Getting home, just before the sun sets
You may have noticed that the mountains currently have almost no snow on them. This is set to change very soon with a week's rain forecast and snow above 1000 metres. So, in preparation, today I have been mostly sawing wood. With a little help.
