Yep, off to the Land of the Silver Birch, Home of the Beaver, where still the Mighty Moose wanders at will. Blue Lake and rocky shore, I will return once more, boom-diddy-boom-boom, boom-diddy-boom-boom. boooooom.

House sitters have arrived and are bedding in, yea verily as I type! So they will be collecting the post and I shall be sitting down on my New Year's Eve return to however much of the Penderyn whisky you leave behind, and I shall open my gift, and think wonderful thoughts of you!

And Happy Christmas to all the Mudelves, Santas, Santees and Grinches. Particularly to the Grinches.

Will touch base next year!
