The same view from the cottage as yesterday, but it's been snowing since 3pm and three small power cuts later at 8pm it continues to snow. We are cosy inside with the woodburner and the children are thrilled that their schools are closed - so I guess the holidays continue in the Sea Urchin household. Nick has rustled up a curry and we might settle down and watch a film in the electricity continues to flow. We took the tree down this morning and I carefully packed away all the decorations - many of them hold small memories and I look forward to rediscovering them again next December.
