In the bleak midwinter

Brrrr.

Went out for a quick stroll today to get warmed up. A drive to a park we like to walk in nearly ended in disaster - the elements of which were Mr B's Dad's car (which we're borrowing), an icy car park, an insubstantial fence and a small river. Happily we stayed dry and the car, after a triple salko, stayed in the car park. However, the paths were treacherously icy, so we headed to the beach instead. The kids raced about, here charging off to investigate the fossilised mammoth tusk washed up on the shore. Later there was wreckage from the Titantic, and many other mysteries.

A Mr B roast lamb dinner with the biggest Yorkshire pudding I've ever made, rounded off the day nicely.
