Beautiful day weather wise, mild and partially sunny -  if only it wasn't ruined by the keen and cutting wind. Rufus didn't mind though and had a fab time fruitlessly searching for squirrels for a joyful hour this morning.

The Toby Carvery chain sent me another email offer of £6 per person for a full roast dinner, so this evening Gareth and William indulged while I had the biggest plate of winter veggies you have seen - well, since we went last week that is.
