HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL  and Best Wishes for 2008. Lets hope it is even better than 2007  

Well we saw in our New Year at the Delta Hotel in Fredericton with a couple of hundred other people. Listening to a band called Eight Track Mind (yes I used to have an 8 track stereo).

.

We had about 30cms of snow yesterday and to make sure we would be really knackered for the dance we decided to go snow shoeing in the Government Nursery behind our house. I suppose you could call it back country trekking.... what started out as a nice snow shoe stroll turned into breaking a trail in 50cm - 60cm of laying snow coupled with a mini blizzard (but it was fun and we werent in any danger).  Did you know that you burn 500 calories an hour with Snow Shoeing ... hogwash I must have been burning 1,208 at least during our 75 minute march.... we eventually got home looking as if we had been out for a week at least!

.

We have another storm heading our way tonight and another 25-30cms of snow forecast. I will post some photos tomorrow as you can imagine the accumulation of snow is starting to get to us but we love it!

.

Perhaps some Cross Country Skiing today (1,000 calories) and tomorrow, or at the weekend another snowshoe death march (8,000 calories).

OK I have to shovel the drive (750 calories) phew all this calorie counting is making me hungry. Kippers for breakfast I think (350 calories)
