Weathersfield Weekly Blog, December 27
We’re just back from an incredible journey to Peru. We spent a week hiking around Cusco and Machu Picchu. Then a week floating down the Amazon River. I’m home now washing the mountains of laundry, editing my photos and writing my trip blogs.

I’ve been away from the internet for the last two weeks so I have no news to report but I still have local events listed so you all can get out and ring in the New Year. Cheers to a Happy, Safe and Prosperous 2019.
