Happy New Year

Happy New Year! In true celebratory fashion, Mr Glis and I spent the magic hour tucked up in bed, dead to the world and the sounds of any local merriment. And the rest of the first day of the new year hasn’t been much livelier, with a short appointment first thing, an afternoon with Nerea in front of the fire watching The Sound of Music (while Alex and Mr G rebuilt rose arches), a damp, muddy, dog walk and then an evening catching up on some festive TV! We really know how to party and live life on the edge!
