A new year - 2012

This is New Year's Greetings to all friends of the fly.  The flightdeck has been quiet, and flysprings and their friends have been buzzing around. No 1 has now gone off to have some time in Paris and then Spain.  No 2 leaves in a few days for home.

However, Alsace, which ALWAYS has White Christmases, did not manage it this year.  A light dusting on a couple of days, and since then some rain to wash it away again. It has been unseasonably warm, at which the locals are delighted of course. They do not care how long the snow holds off, although they know it will come.

It is only a week now before it is time to leave Alsace.  It is a magic place, but home is beckoning also!
