it was cold outside at 06.30...

We had six hours of sleet and hail, rather than snow yesterday. Froze like iron on the cars, as I found at 06.30 when I had to deice the car to go pick up best friend's husband and take him to work. Roads a skating rink. Oh, and did I mention the freezing fog?

This chilly act of Samaritanism was due to their car ending up in a farmers field yesterday evening. Made a 50 mile round trip (from here to Winsford to his work in Wilmslow then back home) very, very slowly.

Then went back to bed for a couple of hours.

Now considering Marbury because a. I am mad b. it'll be pretty c. I can has new super duper thermal coat from LandsEnd to try out.

Yesterdays trip to see Mum was nixed by the weather, didn't fancy going over the Pennines. So we had a 30 minute phone call, which involved buying £50 of wool over t'internet as we talked. See, Mum and I don't even need to be in the same county to be able to indulge in retail therapy together.

Cold grey and misty

Northwich had freezing sleet and hail, rather than snow, and mist and freezing fog. Delightful.

I have a new, brown parker from Land's End, it is rather bulky but lovely and snug and has many pockets, enough that I didn't need a bag for sandwiches, camera, or anything.
