O yes - Mrs C is happy. No more school until Monday.
We love the bird man.
The drifts were three feet deep here. In a week, we will have forgotten.

Half term catch up
After a couple of days back in the office, (but I dont talk about it so don't ask), we had a free Saturday to play catch-up-with-the-kids.
So we left at 8:30, and again at 8:40 once I had remembered all the things I actually needed (sorry Mrs C) we headed to M and S to get the basics for a pic-nic, and fully flasked up, we then headed north to meet up with one of the wage-sappers.
After a coffee stop, visiting a friend, we collected the child, and headed out of the city, looking for the coast.
We found a great place for a lunch stop - coffee and sandwiches, plus lemon and white-chocolate cakes.
A blustery walk followed, along the cliff-top and through the local village, then back to the car.
We had time for a quick trip back into the granite city, and run round Tesco's for some heavy shopping, then we were off, heading south again.
6 pm was the deadline for meeting the elder wage-sapper, and we were on time.
Nearly late due to the fact that Dundee have moved the roads since I last tried to leave by the bridge. Apologies to the people behind as I made an exciting late lane change onto the bridge ramp.
And so on for Pizza.
Slight issue on my visit to the toilets. Who has the "plus", and who has the "arrow"?
So with child 1 now fed, we headed home, energised enough to watch 30 minutes of TV before falling asleep on the couch.
It had been a great day out.

F-F-F-F-Freezing in February
Half term has arrived, and after a quiet Saturday at home doing the domestics, we headed south into England, for a few days in the North East. The weather predictions were for breezy chilly days, and they were exactly right.
Monday morning dawned beautifully, and we had a great day in and around Durham.
Sun into the late afternoon too! Just no heat in it at all.
So we went off to the Botanics, and enjoyed a long time in the hot houses!
