Our visitors made it down from Bedfordshire yesterday. They've come to
see the Xmas lights http://www.trethullan.com/gallery/Mo...mas_lights.jpg
, but given what they've left behind, I think the kids are less than
impressed!

We had barely enough for snowballs Friday evening. Temp rose to 6.9C
in the early hours of today. Cold now, snow pellet shower at 10:00.
