Weather

It's endless rain here, so if it freezes tonight it will be treacherous on the paths and roads again tomorrow. Tuppy and I have had short walks yesterday and today, but at least I've been able to get outside without fear of slipping over! The immediate roads and paths aren't gritted at all.

My neighbours should have collected their new puppy from the Midlands today but went yesterday instead because of the weather - still driving home in snow. So this morning I've been cuddling a chocolate lab puppy. Tuppy was really interested in my coat when I came home!
 
I have spent most of the afternoon trying to make a blockade where the missing fence panel once stood . Reubs isnt interested in trying to find a way out but the small intrepid adventurer is another kettle of fish :facepalm: Lord, it looks such a mess , upturned garden table, two hose reels plus a quite rotten old garden gate but hopefully it is reasonably secure until grandson Sam can come over and do a proper job , its still too windy right now xx

It's gone cold here today, a biting wind and slate grey skies.

St Agnes Eve true to form I would say @Candy ?
Indeed!
'St Agnes' Eve, ah, bitter chill it was,
The owl, for all his feathers was a-cold
The hare limped trembling through the frozen grass
And silent was the flock in wooly fold'
(Followed by something about the beads man's
fingers being numb as he told his rosary. )
Amazing how something I learned in 1973/4 has stuck with me, thanks for reminding me!
( Pretty nippy here today too.🥶)

I had never heard of St Agnes' Eve. I very much liked the poem but guess I shouldn't!
