Nae snaw

Poor Santa. Trying to ski his way back to the North Pole but there's nae snaw! Just mud and utterly destroyed grass in the gardens. I imagine they'll get it returfed just in time for next year's market.

In other news, it was a perfect day for the cycling: a nice brisk wind blew us into town at a cracking 18.5mph and then it died away leaving a bit of sunshine for the lunchtime wander and the run back.
