Chilly, pink start to the day but nowhere near as cold as yesterday. Apparently there were over 23 minor accidents on black ice yesterday morning in Norfolk & Suffolk. Makes you wonder if they did any gritting.... Have never seen a gritting lorry on the lanes round here & they still rely on the farmers to help with clearing the roads if there is an accumulation of snow. I think they used to be paid a small fee but maybe not now. Most of them still turn out though for the benefit of the community.
Didnt make it to Maldon yesterday - finished up looking at camper vans & motor homes. OH will probably retire in abt 18 mths & wants a toy to run away in to do lots of walking & photography. He has a bike & a tent but wants something for the winter. We are also planning some extended tours in Europe - and I'm not going back to a tent.... no way!
Today I'm getting stuff ready for our snowdrop trip tomorrow Really loking forward to meeting up with everyone again.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
I spoke to Wonks yesterday just after she arrived home from work - she said things seemed a bit quieter, and there was a woman she'd not seen before, glaring out of the window. I've heard nothing since ..........
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
it's been snowing here since about 5 am roads appear to have been gritted OH reads for the blind on a Wednesday in a recording studio up in town. Wild horses never stop him going. Have sent him off with a flask, wellies and some sandwiches!!
hope everyone poorly is feeling better today.
my "in the green" snowdrops arrived yesterday Hope it thaws soon

Absolutely flying visit from me, hello everyone. Have guests in B&B and also hosting a coffee morning for French class, so scurrying around cleaning up and baking at the same time. Half term here so I have Charlie to entertain as well - he is going to be the waiter at the coffee morning, bless him.
Cold but sunny here, no snow, hope you are all warm and safe over there, the forecasts I've seen for the UK don't look good.
WW, as long as your new neighbour glares silently I don't suppose you'll mind.
Have a good day all.

Good morning all, hi Pat
Lovely pic chicky
. It's getting lighter here and I can see we have a covering of snow.
Topbird you sound as though you are going to have some great adventures when you get a camper van
. I wouldn't do a tent either 
.
Have a good day everyone.
Morning Lesley and Topbird
They grit the road here, but that's because it's a bus route (although it may also be because it leads to the Golf Club
) . From the report on the EDP website it doesn't look as if the A140 was gritted

Take care everyone out there! It's icy this morning too!

Morning/afties all. Snow here too Lesley, but fog with it as well. Makes a change from the seven shades of **** we had yesterday!
We're fairly fortunate with gritters here but I sometimes wonder if councils look at the forecasts...
Hope Wonks has a more promising day re the neighbours
Tents aren't for me either....a camper van might be handy for getting to those remote hills...
Hope Hosta and doc are feeling more chipper today
Stay warm dry and safe lovely people.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
