Happy Birthday to MK.







W's family were out when we phoned, probably because it was getting on for 11.00am here, when I had returned from church, ready for breakfast - porridge, made by G.
We went for a walk around the reservoir & back across the field from the green.
There were lots of families sledging down the reservoir banks, away from the water that is. The water is frozen over, apart from one pool which was overpopulated with coots, some ducks , geese & a pair of swans.
It is still very cold, with flurries of snow so we have hung a joint of pork from the damson trees.
There will be some other delicacies to follow as the laundry freezer has given up the ghost.
Perhaps it couldn't cope with the opposition from outside.
We have done a little Internet research - any advise as to suppliers?
Lunch calls - toast, pate & salad I think, then the ironing, which I have avoided all week because the laundry is so cold.
I have watched too much TV this week, mainly because of the nice log fire in the lounge.
Silence is golden! (especially when J Clarkson is the alternative)
I need some self improvement - any ideas?

G has some photos to post later, when he's chopped the logs & finished the tax returns!!!
