HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
سنة جديدة!
nuovo anno felice...

CRIPES!!! A whole year has gone past! Since we began this blog and our adventures in the world! What a wondrous year!

Back in Nottingham now in our house on the top of the hill, all warm n cosy... my tummy is full of beautiful chowder that Hannah made. It hasn't stopped raining all day.
Italy was a great time, again intense and full of int'resting experiences - and it's quite strange being back again after this whole year of AWAY-ness. I miss being in such a beautiful place, cycling amongst gorgeous buildings everyday and having such dazzling magical sunshine... it's been a bit grey here since I came back. Also miss me Leonardo gang and the good people met during the time in Padova... CIAO, PIPPOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!... but we shall return, certo!! It's a great thing to discover there are ace people wherever you go in the world, infinitely comforting! WOOHOO!!
Sadly, I did lose my goat in Padova. Actually I think he did a runner in Venezia one night, lured by pretty girls and mysterious canals... It definitely wasn't carelessness this time... sorry Noel. But il bello capra Mer did bring great joy to many of us and so here's a picture in fond memory.




Also Yorkshire Sculpture Park and a couple of treelovers, and a weird alien light on Nottingham seen from the Oldknows Factory...

Nott'nam has its beauties as well, of course... the little wood near the house is all damp and muddy and lovely as ever... the new Broadway is crazy... and it is BRILLIANT to see all the good folks again, especially when they are dressed as sea creatures from the deep. Roll on spring and adventures of 2007...
