January saw our snowy, freezing cold return to the UK, after our fabulous trip to India and Bahrain.   (The photos from this trip can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cavegirl/collections/72157623070456544/).

Basecamp was so cold - combatted mostly by an excess of alcohol.  Sneaky didn’t much like the snow, either... and she’s teetotal.

To make matters worse, we also heard rumours that the landlord was preparing to sell up.  The Frantic Hunt for a Home began.
