Hail fellow well met

I hope you get the idea of the ice coming down my neck. I had two attempts at staying in the house, but after piano practice for a little concert the music school are having on Thursday, I had to give up and get out. I called in on Fiona and had a chance encounter with two fellow Lancastrians and we inevitably had several friends in common. Coffee and carrot cake well inside, F and I went for a very icy and wet walk. Bracing is the word isn't it?

I've also very kindly been given some wood by another friend which was delivered this afternoon, so Ben has something to dry his boots on tonight.

The wolf is being kept from the door yet.
