We had a lovely new years eve at home with a rack of lamb (a la Nigel Slater) some good Californian and French wine and the best Tarte Tatin I’ve ever eaten, followed up with Jools Holland at midnight on the BBC. For new years day we went to Hampstead Heath and took the kids ice skating for the first time. I have some lovely photos that I expect I should be able to post soon enough…

We’re leaving soon on a train to Gatwick, I doubt I’ll be able to post while we’re on safari… So happy new year, and we’ll talk to you soon…
