Christmas Day, Denis and I looked out at the snow-covered city... Much to my surprise, and little to his, Denis pointed out people heading down to the swimming spot in front of his flat for the annual Christmas Day swim! Of course I grabbed my camera, we bundled up and went down to gawk in amazement. One woman said on the news they were claiming the water was 3 degrees. Madness (see more photos here)!

For our Christmas dinner, Pops and I made steak and potatoes and mushy peas and mashed carrot and parsnip goodness. T'was delicious. And we had a big Toblerone.
