Christmas time, nice food and the queen...

The best thing about British winter...

... is the light. True, it may only get light at 8am, and begin to get dark at 3.30pm.
But the low light, it's just beautiful.

Thanks to the lovely people at South African Home Affairs, I have to come home for three weeks. Which is fine really, cos I get a nice bit of time with all the people and things I miss... my mum and dad, my friends, green and blacks chocolate, Holy City, inexpensive salsa, that bead shop in Lichfield and the one in Edinburgh... and, of course Broadband Internet! Yeay! So I'm going to get the chance to make my site just damn gorgeous.
