Tipping Point

Have you noticed how some people are able to focus on what is happening on their new iphone to the complete exclusion of the real world drama that is going on around them?

It has just started to snow slightly again but sadly today is our last day here in Massachusetts.  We fly back to Blighty later this evening and will be saying goodbye to my brother Brendan and his family.  We have had the most wonderful Christmas with them, it has been such fun, certainly the best Christmas that I can remember for a very long time.
