January

I quite like Januarys, and I had high hopes of leaping into this shiny new year full of verve and promises, but I have stumbled at the start -ugh horrid flu go away.  

All sorts of lovely people have asked to use my Sailing Into the New Year image including this lot all the way over in Australia (where is it is topping 40C - hard to imagine as I sit here with five layers on and it tries to snow outside).

As promised, my favourite Claudiaism...

This illustration belongs to Claudia Myatt, and incase you're wondering about shipping forecast protocol, imminent means in the next six hours and soon means in less than twelve hours- both of which would be a jolly long wait for supper!
