It isn't windy here yet. Pretty wet though. The rain turned to snow at about 7.30 enough to settle on the car but thankfully didn't settle on the roads. After 10 minutes or so turned back to rain.

Lovely blanket.

Oh dear should have read the date. It came up as the next post so I thought it was recent 😀😀

Lovely day here too. In the afternoon we took the girls to Ferneleys Ice Cream and sat outside eating delicious ice cream. Then talked puppies with the couple on the next table. Then watched the younger two granddaughters playing and climbing in the outdoor play area . Lovely family afternoon.

Glad you're beginning to feel a bit better DM

I'm sure they will like your application and if they don't it will be their loss. Good luck. When are you home next?

Good luck Lewis. I am sure it will work out in the long term even if you don't get your favoured choice. Fingers crossed you get the one you like.

I've got two of the Omlet stands in my WIR. I haven't had any problems with stability. Shame if they are out of stock.

Oh my mum was rather partial to those. I didn't know they still existed. I hope everyone gets what they hope for on Valentine's Day.

I think I read that Redwing was doing more with her ponies and not showing chooks at the moment. Both times I've hatched I got eggs from Redwing. Still got one of the bantams from her eggs. That is my only chook left now.

The year before last I spent a fortune on dahlia tubers and never had one flower, slugs and snails ate them all. I had wanted to grow them as I remembered mum and dad growing them when I was a child. Last year I used some wool pellet things and copper rings. Some got eaten but I did have some lovely flowers too. I grew them in pots. I had planned on planting them out into the garden but I was too worried about them being eaten after all my hard work protecting them in their early days.

AJM. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. Thinking of you. Thank you you for sharing, it has made me realise that I only have contacts in my phone which of course in an emergency would be locked. Cat tails I will try to find out more about the iPhone medical id . That sounds like a good idea. Best wishes AJM

Oh no. Fortunately OH who works a lot of the week in your part of the country came home yesterday afternoon as he had booked his car into the local garage. Otherwise it sounds like he would have struggled to get home tonight. I hope the roads and motorways improve soon. Thankfully we haven't had any of the white stuff worth mentioning. We have had very icy village road up to our main road. Take care everyone.

It was very icy this morning. On the car was wet sleety stuff but the road was ice. I reversed out the drive and put my foot down as there were lights in the distance coming my way to find my wheels were spinning. Took it very easy up to the main road.

Hi!!!
