Happy Christmas ( a bit late) @ddschteinn ! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year as well, as that happens tomorrow!

I assumed you were busy. Though I also thought possibly you had posted a million things and I simply forgot to get to your blog. Since my move this year, it's been more complicated because of getting the house and kitting it out. Also when I am here, I usually live alone, but sharing a house with friends also makes things different and any idea of a schedule is a bit harder when there are others to consider.

I had a wonderful and quiet Christmas. And in fact had a solitary Christmas morning walk through village, churchyard and field. It was a lovely holiday and I hope yours was as well.

Yes, Ivan and I are good ole' friends. We enjoy our daily rambles and more and more are being recognized and meeting locals due to him. Everyone has dogs here and so everywhere we go are more dogs for him to meet and socialize with, which is great fun.

I'm heading over to your blog now.
