Good morning. Put the tree and the decorations away yesterday in the garage. Then did some housework and relaxed by starting to knit a hat. Hope I can get out later today if there is a thaw on. Rox glad they found out what is wrong with your car. May haven’t made a pot of soup for about five years.
Morning All, There’s no frost this morning and I can walk no bother, but still got my ice grips on my boots. Going to give my car a run shortly as it’s been sitting for too long so taking the chance, but will stick to the main road then through the town to The Front and have my latte, I get withdrawal symptoms if I don’t get to the ocean. 
I’ll be making a big pot of soup this afternoon Jess, lentil with lots of carrots n onions, along side a pot of boiled tatties to have with it. One plate of that and I’m stuffed 
Magic! I got up this morning and it had all gone … the usual shades of brown and green had returned.
This kind of here today, gone tomorrow snow is fine by me.

Off to Norfolk for a few days tomorrow. A friend of Mrs Dex has gone abroad for a few weeks, so we can use her house and (the real reason for going…) look after her elderly mother.
Thank heavens the snow has gone!!
Here’s the rub though… it’s 130 miles away from us, but usually takes 4+ hours to get there. How bonkers is that?
Know what you mean, it’s 233 miles front my drive to the farm but takes around 5 and a half hours, often longer. Have a stopping place in Dingwall for a comfort break and a sandwich around 20min. Really depends on that A9 and how many damn tourists with motor homes are causing problems.

Ohhh Blimey what a day, everything’s solid and can hardly see across the yard, the Haar coming in off the ocean is so thick. Was standing at the back door and it was silence everywhere, no traffic noises from the main road, the sheep are quiet and I think they’re in the barn, no stomping Clydes looking for treats they’re in the stable, it’s uncanny without the usual noises.
Hope it’s better where you all are, have a good day.
Good morning Folks,it’s a cold dreich wet one here,but have no plans to go gallivanting…I don’t seem to have much enthusiasm for anything these days so Don’t have anything to say really…watching too much tele’ and neglecting My exercises…hey ho…Hope I get My mojo back soon

Good evening. Didn’t do very much today apart from going to the shopping centre. There seems to be a thaw on thank goodness. Stayed in for three days this week, I hate staying in the house all the time.
Gods that sounds so spooky and eerie like the opening line of a scary horror story… especially after reading Rox’s post first.

It’s wonderful how you can make the weather sound so romantic? Spooky? Straight out of a Dracula film.
@scot37 … that’s actually a beautiful photo with it’s hazed frosty look.

Good morning All,nothing romantic about the weather here as it’s dull with wintry showers of sleet/rain…but not complaining when I see some parts of the Country far North & South have it really bad…Going out to the shops later for odds n ends,
Stay warm & safe Folks wherever You are,xx
Good morning. Scot you’ve really had your share of snow up there Cold and grey looking out there today. Don’t have to go out till later to the hairdressers which is just round the corner.
Morning, Our snow has turned to sleet but it’s still coming down. It’s only 1deg but that’s above freezing so it’s good. Roll on next week and the warmer weather moving in.
At home today, cooking for the freezer and yet another big pot of soup to make.
Have a nice day.

Afternoon everybody. May haven’t been out the door either today, have enough to keep going. Been reading that the pavements here are all black ice. Glad your daughter didn’t fall on the path. Got the same plans for later except it will be Casualty for me.

I tell you all every year to get ice grips on your winter boots. They are around a fiver and on Ebay. If I’d had them on my boots 3 winters ago I’d not have fallen and smashed my leg up.
I don’t step out the door without them now and they’re on my boots till spring.
