Today was the first day of winter: bright blue skies but bitterly bitterly cold. Not that it stopped Amélie from spending half the day outside with nothing but her cardigan on. But then she did have an excitable dog to play with so there was no point in trying to stop her. Believe me, I know this from experience. I did eventually manage to get a scarf on her but then I gave up and just tried to comfort myself with the thought that she was running around like a lunatic and would probably be keeping herself warm that way. The dog is not ours. She belongs to Lys and Nessim, friends of ours from university who moved to Belgium just after we did. Despite living only 30 minutes away from each other we only ever seem to manage to get together once a year. But it’s great fun every time and every time we promise each other we won’t leave it as long again. Fingers crossed!
