Southrepps has avoided the blanket of snow that seems to have brought most of the UK to a grinding halt. The temperature this morning has risen sufficiently for the ice on the road outside our cottage to have thawed, although it’s still pretty chilly out there!
I take the dog for her morning walk, and then respond to a couple of messages that I have received on YouTube, one of which requires a detailed response that takes me quite a while to formulate.
I’m feeling the cold again, so warm myself up by splitting a few logs, filling the log basket and lighting the fire.
I review (and add to) my “to do” list, which is getting longer and longer – I’m starting to feel a little panicky because I have a lot of things to do before Christmas is upon us, and it’s already the 13th of December!
My wife’s younger brother takes us out to dinner at The Vernon Arms this evening, which is really kind of him. We have food, a beer or three and a good chin-wag.
