I was uber-proud, but winter took its toll and crumbled it away. Instead Marcel and I designed and built a lounge-deck from reclaimed building scaffolding. We also got a great little bbq that can accommodate open flames ... fantastic! A follow up … it turns out that a Roman I am not. I was uber-proud, but winter took its toll and crumbled it away.

I even tried wrapping aluminium foil around my toes. A friend gave me this tip from their trip to Lapland. It helped a lot, but then seemed to stop. When I took my boots off, I understood why. The foil looked like silver-leaf and had completely disintegrated. Then I remembered she said, “heavy-duty aluminium” … Thanks Dave! I even tried wrapping aluminium foil around my toes.

The trip sounds like fun - I'm not sure if I'd be excited or worried about the fact that my directions were pictures only!  One of the things I'm looking forward to in 2012 - seeing where else you travel so I may too (vicariously!).  Victoria,

I am sad that 2011 has been so tough on the two of you. Loosing someone so close to you, and so young, is very hard and has a great impact on all other aspects of life. I wish you a 2012 in which things will be much easier for you and Marcel. A year with lots of work, happy customers, many loving moments amongst friends and family, and, last but not least, many muddy roads ;-) I am also looking forward to 2012. It seems that many people are tired these days and are longing for a few weeks of cocooning and rest. Me too! So I hope everyone has the opportunity to rest, play and have fun for a few weeks so that we can all start the new year with lots of energy ;-) Love, for you and Marcel, Victoria!
