The Snow Lay on The Ground...
















There is no let up in this wintry weather. Although we have only had a few flurries in the past 36 hours, there is still plenty of it on the ground. As the temperature stays just below freezing, the snow aint gonna disappear.
The east coast is still enduring heavy snowfalls, and pretty much the whole of Britain is affected to varying degrees of difficulty. Transport is still affected, with trains and planes and boats and cars and buses all affected. And there seems no sign of any respite in the present conditions. Parts of Europe are now affected too.

We are fortunate that it hasn't caused our family too much bother. We didn't use the car on Sunday or Monday, as our street, with a hill at either end, can be tricky to negotiate. But since then I have manged out every day. The secret is simple. Light on the accelerator, and on the slope, keep revs slow and steady. Momentum does the rest.
Gerry has managed to keep up his attendance at the Brunton Theatre Pantomime in Edinburgh. John is still sunning himaself in Brisbane. Damien is working from home, and his trip to Belfast was cancelled due to the weather. James has manged his work, and Therese has kept up University with some transport form me when the buses were off. Tonight we are having a meal with Claire and Martin.

Some photos from our garden.
