Both Bridie and Glen were working today, Glen doing an 8 hour day for the first time ever in his new job washing up while Bridie cooks for the Christmas crowds. That meant we had a quiet house today until Joe gets here later this evening and I got on with messing about with some of the wood we have for the wood stove. The logs look great covered with snow spray and a festive robin sitting on there with candles either side and I used some of the apple tree cuttings which we use for kindling, to build a wooden log cabin. Bridie actually thought I'd bought it but I think she was humouring me!
Again the snow spray covers up a lot of inadequacies in the construction.
The roads are still treacherous in places and we had a landrover end up in the hedge over the road from us this morning. It had lost grip nearer the top of the hill and skidded down until it crashed through a ditch and into a tree in the hedge. It was well and truly stuck and the front was completely caved in but the two guys got out unscathed but hugely embarrassed.
Fortunately it went to the opposite side from us but it could easily have been different with them skidding into our garden or worse!
