On Sunday we went up to the country to visit Richard and Elisabeth. The place was truly a winter wonderland, especially when it dropped to -30 overnight.
We spent the early evening sitting in front of a roaring fire and admiring the fine tree brought in from the forest by Richard and expertly decorated by Elisabeth.
Dan, Susan and Simon arrived shortly after us and much hilarity ensued as Elisabeth played the arm flapping game with Simon. The evening was polished off very nicely by a delicious meal of spaghetti, meat sauce and pesto with one of Elisabeth’s fabulous salads.
The next morning we all huddled in the dining room away from the chill hanging over the rest of the house. Simon was passed around as we all enjoyed our breakfasts and the stunning winter views.
