On Tuesday I came down with a very nasty bug, I felt so bad I took to my bed for a couple of days. Today I feel so much better and felt I needed a walk outside, for a few days it was -10C and was white with thick snow. Yesterday our pipes froze solid, we had no water and although I tried to thaw it out with a heater it was not working. Our neighbour heard that we were frozen – they turned up with all the defrosting equipment needed and had the pipes thawed out in 15 minutes! I was very touched by their generosity, it was so kind of them.

Anyway back to my walk outside, this morning the snow was gone replaced by sunshine, snowdrops, catkins and kitties. Maybe spring is around the corner, just maybe…………….
