Hello all.
What a palaver, BL! Hope it gets sorted for you soon.
Your snow looks really beautiful, Dacha... shame about all those trees coming down though.

Overheard in the market cafe: "I never learnt to read or write till I started breeding canaries..." Somehow reminded me of "Last of the Summer Wine."
