Peter Oldfield Good photos of the ice sculptures. I wonder if you are getting fed up of snow yet - I think the residents of the British Isles are - there was more ice and snow today.

Chris Bradbrook Hi! Thanks very much for the postcard which came this week. Very sorry to hear about your job but it's great that you've managed to find a new one so quickly, hopefully with a more sympathetic employer. Perhaps Richard could find a job there too?? Enjoy the snow whilst it lasts!

Mark Oldfield Ha that's funny about the wall of shame. I've put one up here at our house too. You're not allowed here for three months either. I suppose its irrelevant really, seeing as you're not back for 50 months or however long it was you said. Anyway, I'm glad you got yourself sorted again. Good luck with the new job. Have you followed the only road to the Canadian Prime Minister yet? (South Park reference)

j.oldfield Thanks for p.c. superlooking hotel. Do you get lost in the place.? Hope this year is superb and that you continue to enjoy yourselves.I have sent you an email too so you know I am thinking about you,love Gran xx
