Sledging is fun

Hello again,

A really short blog today. We have just come back from a weeks holiday in Scotland and a fine time was had by all. When we arrived it was snowy and -8 degrees (excellent for sledging). Two days later it was +12 degrees and we were on the beach in shirt sleeves - excellent.

Will blog again next week

Until then...

It's snow joke!

Hello again,

You might have noticed on the news this week, that we have had some snow in London & the South East. Actually it was a decent snowfall, some 200mm. Obviously, everything ground to a halt; cars, trains, buses, schools etc. but that is to be expected. It was even the case that we couldn't do any work with the business either - you try installing irrigation & lighting in gardens covered in snow! Anyway it resulted in a day off for pretty much everyone and a fine time was had by all.

Two points to make:

Firstly, see the image of Brian the Badger. He has moved from the boot of my car to the porch of my house. This is real progress, a definite step forward. For now Brian is Brian the guard badger, protecting the house from undesirables. He did however get a bit covered in snow, even with the protection of the porch. I think he looks rather magnificent there but I still have plans for him. I will faithfully report any devleopments on the Brian front, as and when they occur

Secondly, snow men are becoming so sophisticated. The winner this week was the snow dalek that was made in Kingston, a faithful reproduction of Dr Who's foe. Congratulations to the people who made it

Until later
