Happy New Year

I cannot believe it is 2010 already. I remember 2000, spending New Year in Rome with my boyfriend of the time (he was Italian hence Rome) to celebrate the Millennium, listening to the RAI Uno orchestra at midnight and having lunch in a great little trattoria in beautiful Orvieto on New Year's Day. Now in 2010 I was in Aberfeldy with 13 friends for 3 nights making the most of the beautiful snow that surrounded us. It really was a winter wonderland of deep, crisp white snow and icicles. It was great to be able to spend New Year with so many good friends. I hope everyone else had a lovely time too!

Here's a few snapshots I took over the Christmas holidays in Falkirk (my home town), Edinburgh and Aberfeldy.

Happy 2010 Diane! My oh my how these last ten flew by. And they say it gets worse. One more reason to enjoy every day as best we can, don't you think? Looks like you are doing just that on you way down that hill. Love your smile.

The sheep are my favorite. Somehow they seem surprised to find themselves being photographed!
