I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas.  Or at least a mild one anyway.  We are getting Centigrade temperatures in the teens this Christmas week.  This is great for haters of the cold, but certainly terrible for the environment. It's sort of the reverse of when I took these photos.  The skies in Suffolk, England, were almost completely blue, the sun was shining, it was summer, but the temperature was in the low teens in Centigrade terms.  Given a choice of the two, I'd pick summer.

Today the journey begins.  The path is daunting, but the destination is glorious.

It goes without saying, this has been an unorthodox World Cup.  I for one didn't expect Brazil to make the final, my prediction was an all  español  affair of Argentina vs Spain, however not even I could have predicted such a woeful performance by the host nation. Having said that, most of the football powerhouses have been average at best.  England, Spain, Italy, Portugal and so on.  Of all the teams this year, the two that impressed me the most were Iran and the USA - which kind of shows what kind of World Cup it has been. The one most impressive player in the whole thing, in my humble opinion, has been none other than the great Vincent Enyeama - goal keeper for the not so super Eagles of Nigeria.
