Having woken up to a freezing cold, somewhat wintry day I am counting myself lucky having seen the news and the weather Scotland and Ireland and facing. Hope our friends up in the North are keeping warm and safe. My thoughts are with the families who have children on the school bus that has crashed. Just ridiculous weather for Easter.

Elspeth I hope you are OK, well done on passing your exams, your hard work has paid off, very pleased for you. Cuddles to you and Ceilidh.
