The view

In my defence, CarbBoy chose the seats. In the waiting room in a very rainy Bristol, where we will soon go our separate ways after a weekend at home. He is off back to college for another couple of weeks before Christmas. I am off to Birmingham for a night in a hotel that Mr B (too late) told me is awful. Joy.

Today was our first proper frost - and lasted most of the day. Good job the Magnolia put its duvet on yesterday! Glorious blue skies, but a busy day of cleaning and admin for me.

(And no, I didn’t buy a brolly - mine is safely stowed in my case and hopefully more robust than this one looks.)
