Going North no 3

Well November is here and hasn't it gone cold!!!! It's something I rarely complain of as I prefer the cooler weather but at teatime I was frozen ended up with the gas fire on and the heating. Poor hubby (he who usually complains of the cold, on a daily basis) was red in the face because of the heat! It took awhile but I eventually allowed him to turn the fire off and open the door! One good thing that will have come out of it is he will now know how I feel when he turns the heating up and up!!! Lol. The card I have for you tonight is an image you have seen before but on a larger card. Also its a Christmas card, lol.
