Spent much of the time drooling -not for the food but for the lovely Alberto Tomba -drop dead gorgeous- who was at the next table OMG!!!!!!

Cold though as you can see from Neptunes attributes in the photo

Impressive trident though

Did he ski off into the sunset mobertol

Unfortunately....Yes!

Lovely again today -been round the Botanical Gardens this morning and just had a fab lunch -fresh fish in a great Trattoria -can't fault Bologna, except that I've been eating too much, have sore feet from all the walking and am losing my voice (again) through talking and laughing like a hysterical teenager with my Friend Charlotte.

Oh, to be 18 again...

Got home yesterday and have been immersed in the gloom of constant fog -at risk of falling into severe depression...it's freezing cold too!

First covering of the white stuff here, it,s a bit early, no footy today. Hope it,s not a sign of a bad winter ahead. The mountains look great though.

How lovely -we have had snow on the Alps for a bit -love that first snow though -magical every time!

Almost as poetic as "Mist over Pendle" Steve!

I do - and rarely emerge in summer.
I sleep more than most folk but not the 23 hours the folk in this article do

My thoughts precisely...and if I could I would.
I do not like winter....it isn't the cold and the damp(though I am not fond of those)...it is the lack of natural light.

Love winter myself -you can always wrap up against the cold. Frosty mornings, blue skies, crisp sounding footsteps in snow -wonderful....bring it on.

Vin bruleè, Hot Chocolate, lighted fires....Xmas!

Going to get our snow-tyres fitted on the car tomorrow- can't wait for it to snow and the world to be muffled and perfect for a while...!

My favourite home delivery supermarket has advised me that snow tyres have been fitted to their fleet.

I'ts reassuring to know I won't starve

What about gathering winter fuel when the snow is deep and crisp and even?

The rain has been falling for 3 days now, except for a few hours break. Looks like winter has arrived early this year. Roll on March when the sun gets his hat on again.
