Snowed under

A couple of centimetres of snow overnight. The gritters were out early in the town - on the pavements as well as the roads - and in no time at all most of the white stuff had turned to brown slush. Watched this Christmas rose in the 'yard emerge from the snow as it melted a little.

The renovations continue, more slowly today, but still as much dust! MrM and Jake have stopped work for the day, and when Jake has gone to meet Lucy from Berwick station I shall get out the vacuum cleaner again. Her train is late...

Domestic stuff, cooking (French lentil soup and a lemon sponge pudding made), and lagging pipes for me today. Exciting eh?
