Scotland was lucky to experience a White Christmas, then a White Hogmanay, followed by a White January... I guess it doesn't feel so lucky now after weeks and weeks of blizzard, freezing temperatures and blocked roads. Anyway, it was quite nice to build a snowman and throw snowballs while I was over there on holidays. The funny-looking snowman we made in my in-laws' back garden (complete with a carrot for the nose and gravel for the coat) was still there when we left.

Happy New Year to all in the blogosphere ;-)
The Brits love their pantos and I've become very British in that sense because I love to treat the kids to a show over Christmas. During our last holidays in Glasgow, we went to see a funny production of Little Red Riding Hood in The Arches, the theatre set under Central Station. It was very arty and quirky. In true panto's style, LRRH's mother was played by a man, and there were lots of sing-along tunes and hand-made special effects. The Glasgow accent in itself was a hoot !
