Well that was a bonzer Christmas and a half, so blooming busy I didn’t even have a chance to blog Xmas has been pretty good for Webtogs but as a result I haven’t had a chance to sit and write anything. It’s might be way too late to write this but heres hoping everyone reading this had a happy and peaceful Xmas and NY. It always feels strange but proper saying that to people you haven’t seen for a while after the event itself!

Along with the usual overload of Food and frolicks, lots of gear was exchanged this year as presents. Top of my list are my brand spanking new ZG40′s. It has been a while since I got a new pair of boots but my old zamberlans had finally cracked after a couple of years of abuse. They are ultra stable and have given me a lot more ankle support as well as feeling as light as a newborn. I can’t wait frankly to get them out and dirty. Both Cath and myself also grabbed some Kuhl fleece which I am a definite convert to. They have to be our niche find of this year, it was great catching up with them at ISPO this year.

Speaking of ISPO, it was my first year this year and it was just amazing. Gear, Gear, Gear and more Gear ahoy – there were some special items I’ll blog about later.

Walking wise it’s been a fairly quiet but we did get a lovely stroll on NY eve with ones of the best hoar frosts I have seen for some time, it was so cold it looked like it had snowed. We had some friends from the Netherlands over and it really was a beautiful walk.

So here we are, 2009, slightly nervous times with all the economic shenanigans but heres hoping it’s a prosperous and peaceful year for all.
