Christmas 2009











Well, that was Christmas 2009.

It was a nice family time. Damine was here, with Martin and his wife Claire, Therese and James were here too. John phoned us after midnight mass in san Francisco.


We got to Christmas night mass and took granny too.

The weather has been bitterly cold, much colder than many a year. And snow....lots of snow. Who muttered...Global warming?

On Christmas Eve I took someone over to GlasgowAirport for a flight to France. At 7.30 am it was -12C here, and today was the first day for a while we got above freezing point.
New Year is next. It is not a big thing for us here, Christmas is much more important. There is no midnight Mass available this year, so it will be morning Mass on New Year's day.

Some photos. Our street, crib and view from the Erskine Bridge. Sadly, another poor soul threw herself from the bridge in the early hours of this morning. There have been so many in the last 8 weeks. The press keep coverage to a minimum. Understandable.
