Raining slush puppies

Wet, cold & windy. At lunchtime the rain was falling as very wet ice, the wipers could not move fast enough to keep the windscreen of the bus completely clean – easy to imagine how impossible it would be for the driver to cope in the alarming freak ice storms which have been reported in Ireland & Scotland.

We are on the edge of these, & that has been nasty enough - April arrives tomorrow, the children are on holiday and we were thinking of donning our Easter bonnets this weekend.

No mist down where we are, but we could be living next to the sea – there is no view at all to the east, just dense white fog – the Dark Peak might just as well not be there at all.
