Snow day Friday







Once again we had an unexpected bonus with another snow day due to the freezing temperatures which had made the snow treacherous underfoot. To be honest I'd have been able to get to school but it's the state of the grounds and paths that would be the concern. Of course others will have had even more snow to contend with and therefore the most sensible thing to do was make the decision to close and wait for the weekend thaw.

It's rained today and overnight which has cleared most of it but we have had some lovely walks with the dogs and it's been a real treat being in the utility room with the wood stove. The cats and dogs love it too and curl up snug and warm despite the freezing temperatures outside. The smell of the wood burning coming from the chimney when you're outside is very evocative and makes it seem so homely and welcoming.

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
