I'm the lucky git who actually lives in the sun (although it does get a tad damp in the winter months here)....a little slice of heaven middle of the Atlantic mate....but to be honest, I'd prefer snow for Christmas!!!

I've heard Stamford Bridge can be nice this time of the year, could get a bit gloomy by 9pm though.

Had wonderful snow in the Lakes last Xmas but this year it's staying at home in front of our new log fire. It's been nice and cold and frosty but I guess the usual south of England dampness is just round the corner. If there is a sudden massive fall of snow in the Alps I may try and get away skiing.

Toying with the idea of going to see the lucky git that lives in the sun. Airfare is pretty pricey though, cheaper to go to paris. But then again why???

The weather up here in Edwin's Kingdom has been truly spectacular this week - cold, but with beautiful bright blue skies. Highly therapeutic for SAD buggers like me. If we could only get more weather like this, winter would be a real pleasure.

We're off to St. Lucia for a week in Feb - something I'm already looking forward to.

Any chance of you securing continued internet access, Buff? It's very unnerving knowing every post could sadly be your last. Don't let it happen marra!

Dying to get my son on skis for the first time (He is 3 on Friday) Hopefully will find an internet cafe to keep in touch with results..Missing the Arsenal game is sad as it's the last chance to see the toon down here in exile land.

Happy (hopefully) Christmas to all

Geordie,

Still no sign of snow here in the Alps - far too bloody nithering. So I'm off to Valencia for three weeks.
