Well the snow hasn`t arrived as yet but here`s some from yesteryear to enjoy showing James with a pile of snow on his head! Bought some fine floorstanding speakers today to replace my ancient Heybrook HB1`s which weren`t even biwired (shock)! Wharfdale Diamond 9.4`s - they`re as tall as Gimli the dwarf in high heels and just as powerful.

We are all excited as we have discovered an antique furniture place in Normandy that is 35 miles from us. Farmhouse tables and chandeliers `r` us!! My mother (Wendy) has ordered her double bed and is in a frenzy of excitement at the prospect of painting "her room"!!!
