The end of the cold snap is on its way






I went for a lovely 30 minute run yesterday afternoon and stopped to take a photo of the blue skies and low, low sun on the golf course. Beautiful. The woodburner did a sterling job all day and it was still warmer in the utility room than usual when I went in this morning.#

I took Maria to college and stopped at the WM allotment to collect a couple of leeks which are cooking away in a potato and leek soup to counter the cold weather. Juno came for the ride and a walk around the trail area having already had her morning walk amongst the leaves of Boys Wood which I felt merited a photo as a record. Such colours and absolutely carpeting the ground.

You will see the garlic and broad beans in the photos, both happy to overwinter despite the frost and snow.

Just back from a bike ride down to Morrisons for a little shopping and quite pleased I managed to do it in my shorts without feeling too cold!

Beach walk

 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...
