We have just spent christmas in Braintree. This is the scene we woke up to the other Monday and looking at the weather forecast we may see the same later in the week.

We had to encourage Cassie to jump the sea defences.

Our spell of caring for Hilarys parents was broken up with a visit to Hilarys relations in Bognor Regis.

Cassie has her first experiance of sea water.

Even Harlow can look beautiful under a carpet of snow.

I have not posted lately as we been looking after Hilarys parents as they have been in hospital.
