We can look back on a fabulous year of first class posts from both you and Miles for which I am truly grateful.... can't wait to see what the new year will bring. Happy new year my friend to you and Fairbanks! Cid p.s. hope the rosehips don't transfer onto your treasured books... being wild they have a mind of their own :) Melissa,

I have just taken the last half hour all to myself and read through your blog posts that I've missed lately. Miles, you have no idea how much I appreciate your posts, your humor, your writing, your photography, your "community." Whenever I feel the need to "get away" and visit with friends (much like our old 80s TV show, "Cheers"), I hide in my office and come directly to milescollins.com. Please pass me a glass of Pinot Noir and all will be well. I've had some major techy problems lately and haven't been able to mess with my own blog. Long story, but my site was hacked into and someone changed passwords and totally messed things up. Apparently a whole grid section of my hosting site was tampered with. It's been a bit of a pain. I did have a wonderful Christmas though, so life is good and I have no complaints. As it seems to be the case with everyone here, I was also blown away by your Christmas chef photos and these Lincolnshire photos. Your "white Christmas" photos were absolutely enchanting, your kitchen brigade wonderful and your heron shots National Geographic quality. Loved every one of them. You English chefs are a good looking bunch. Thank you for a great year, Miles. Looking forward to the next one! Melissa P.S. Cid, one of the highlights of my Christmas was a wonderful gift from a dear friend. It's a bookmark depicting the most tranquil winter scene. It's lovely and reminds me of you. I do wish I knew how to reciprocate. In the meantime, wishing you peace, love and rosehips. Hi all,

Watch this space! Miles Cid,

Can attest to heron eating expensive koi in the States as well. Lovely shot - wait for the right light . . .

Let me know if you're thinking about doing a one man show..... I'll definitely turn up for the preview drinks and nibbles, wearing my traditional Lincolnshire kimono featuring herons and cranes, very auspicious apparently! These days while I'm out and about in the Shire I always keep one eye (only the one, the other is steadfastly fixed on the road or make-up mirror, which ever seems the most critical at the time :) ) on the verge in case I run over any photographers camouflaged in the misty fens. Your pictures show everyone how beautiful this county is and sometimes we locals need to be reminded of that. Cid Miles,
