She left Monday and of course I have been sad all week. I don't really consider December to be a part of winter - it is so full of colored lights and music, and usually not too cold. Then comes January and normality. Thanks for the poem. I must look for other ways now to appreciate winter. The sun was out yesterday and today - that helped a lot.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693598787241469220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-61960382702247930592010-01-01T20:13:05.095+00:002010-01-01T20:13:05.095+00:00Lovely poem Rowan and great photos - I love the co...Lovely poem Rowan and great photos - I love the contrast of the red berries on an otherwise colourless shot.

I am determined to visit the British Isles someday, but until then I treasure your blog. And now I can go to South Africa too, somewhere I never even considered! I'd love to know what species the birds are if you have the time. Enjoy your time with your family!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880283983722293805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-73726375027073512992010-01-01T06:21:14.140+00:002010-01-01T06:21:14.140+00:00That poem warmed my winter heart :) I loved your p...That poem warmed my winter heart :) I loved your pictures too.
