January 8th.
Happy New Year
The big freeze has arrived minus 20 degrees in areas of the UK. Fortunately we live in a valley surrounded by moors and don’t get extreme weather but it still can be bad especially on the motorways and rural roads. I try to avoid going out or at least waiting until after midday when hopefully the gritters have cleared the main roads and the sun has defrosted most of the pavements.
The freezing fog is the worst, visibility is a whiteout from only a few yards When I worked in the community as a Midwife we had to go out to calls no matter what and I have experienced some hair raising moments often having to abandon the car and walk.
Check out this video its real scary.

Stuart came to stay overnight last week, he and Andrew had a night on the town. It was good to see my two sons together a rare sight as Andrew spent seven years from the age of 16 in the Royal Navy. Stuart being 5year his junior never had the opportunity to hang out with big brother during his teenage years. But now age is not a problem and it is good to know they have reached a point where age is not a barrier to friendship. Couldn`t cope with it for too long though as I have got use to my space and having two huge fellows sleeping over, as much as I love them, is…..! Went to see the Epic movie “Australia” I loved it but my friend thought it too long at 2 hours.45mins . I loved it and was choked up and dewy eyed a few times and I jumped with surprise more than once too, I like that. The film is a compilation of many stories and just as you think this is the end another crisis looms. I am not going to divulge the ending that would be unfair, go and see it.
