2009 was the best Christmas and New Year never mind the recession, even though I got snowed in at Christmas in Dublin and I'm snowed in at Oxford for the New Year. My celtic nature is coming out, as I find that I love the snow, the ice and the wind, it's my kind of weather and it's not stopping me getting out and about.

2010 is going to be a busy year, I'm going to check out London for the Chinese New Year celebrations in February, then I'm going to see Riverdance in Oxford, then St. Patrick's Day celebrations, Circque du Soleil in London, and lots more Shakespeare. 2010 Táim ag siúil go mór leis.

Slán go fóill (bye for now). Caroline
