Whilst my male guardian has spent a large part of the festive period in professional toil, there have been some lovely times in between that we have thoroughly enjoyed. My lady guardian has ensured some delightful meals, the home fire has been burning and a general air of comfort and joy in our country lives has abound.
This morning my guardians rose at an early hour, before any other lights in the lane shone out, to ensure my male guardian had sufficient journey time to reach his professional toil. All was peaceful and calm, and Jack Frost had made one of his few visits this winter. Oh, the beauty of the countryside clothed in sparkling frost. Once sufficient light was in the sky my lady guardian sallied forth for a most invigorating walk for quite an hour and a half. Tramping along lanes, paths and bridleways to enjoy the spectacle of the countryside in winter. Arriving home she brought with her a fresh, frosty fragrance of crisp air and glowing cheeks. What a delightful time she had enjoyed, indeed a walk has featured every day over the festive period, and much appreciated they have been. To walk unfettered by time and wander at will really is greatly to one's liking, all the more so when the air is crisp and clean.
The Antipodeans have been hatching plans for their future and much electronic correspondence has ensued; a most exciting time for all concerned. My guardians are avidly following the plot as it thickens for there is nought so reassuring than to see ones loved ones settled, safe and happy. Oh the excitement, dear reader, one really must contain oneself.
