Gosh your local area is photogenic! I am utterly done with Brexit to the point of not even caring, which is worrying. An annual bulletin is an excellent idea, someone should do that.

Jack is more or less non-stick, which is good because he likes to wallow in mud. We didn't get any snow, just lots of ice, that stuff that sticks on all the leaves etc. It must have a name in English but I can't remember it. I am totally sick of Brexit, if it wasn't for 5 unwilling family members I would relocate to somewhere more friendly. I guess up here, there is at least a faint hope of a second independence referendum. Soap in your knitting - what a great idea. I shall copy you immediately.

That wonderful moment when we checked online and realised that the uniform could come off and warm tobogganing clothing could go on. Thoroughly fed up with the B word here as well. I think you're right and we'd all be happier ignoring the news and just getting on with life. Your knitting looks lovely by the way.

No schools closed here, we were out at 7.25 skidding up the lane in the car on the way to the bus :o) Poppy has been wearing her coat and Ted rolled in FP on our walk this morning- the only bit that wasn't frozen solid, can you believe it! <br />I thought your soap was expensive chocolate for a moment. Nice packaging. I do the same with soap here, but not on knitting- I put it in clothes drawers and on paper etc. Brexit is banned in our house . Heartily sick of it.
