We're walking in a winter wonderland, or so the song goes. On Sunday I did venture out for a short stroll over the fields. It turned into a four mile walk on a fresh sunny day. Lovely to come home to beef stew from the aga. However, services are being affected by the snowfall and living so far out does have some disadvantages. The situation so far:
Temperature: minus 8
carbon footprint: drastically increasing
Last human sighting: Thursday...starting to go stir crazy
Family situation: irritable...but mainly because school is open and we can get there
Cooking: stew being served on a daily basis but curry powder arriving tonight
All that and I have to put up with ridicule about my cold weather fashion sense, i.e layers of clothing and a camouflage hat with ear flaps that makes me look like Trapper John. Do I care? No, because at least I'm warm.
No walking in this Winter Wonderland i'm afraid. The snow is over a foot deep and all the schools in the county are closed until further notice. Snow still falling steadily. I'm sick of the sight of the stuff.

Stay cosy!
The novelty is starting to wear off here too, but at least my saviour arrived last night with curry powder so things are looking up.
