Yes I know - but was worried about being considered to be "cliquey" and thought it would be better coming from admin team.

As regard any accusation of self indulgence, then to that I would plead guilty in advance

It must be hereditary, my kids can walk on water too. This is the boating lake on Christmas Eve, we've had about 8" of snow since. Paradise.

Jim,

It was last Wednesday night at around 11pm. Too early for the pubs kicking out and to snowy for anyone to move pubs.

Quiet? Yes - but not in the pubs.

In my original Favourites thread I suggested that it might be nice for members to post their favourite moments form the Xmas Festivities and the past year.

For me, this was certainly one of the highlights of 2009. What a night it was with fab-ul-us people.

The ducks must have gone away for New Year, the birds were very hungry though:

Take them to the Tay it was freezing from both sides as we passed today.  Last time it froze was 1895.   Word is it is going to be minus 16 tonight.  I hope someone has made a mistake :o
