The very first video piece from the first link shows a back garden in Raunds, Northamptonshire.... the very place I moved over from! (well, not that particular back garden you understand... probably one a few doors up!) Small world eh?

Ahhh Raunds, oh Raunds. How I miss you!







Not. :eek:

Just until the 27th, I knew it was gonna snow I flew from SFO to Minneapolis and it was snowing there, then when I got to Holland it had been snowing and Norwich is only a 30min flight from Schipol, and as we came out of the clouds it was just starting, by the time I walked out the airport door to get the rental car it was a flippen blizzard lol
