We are slowly returning to normality here. Temperature has jumped from -2° to 7°  and we now have heavy rain and strong winds. I am hoping that the 6 inches of ice up my track dissappear before I try to drive up it tomorrow, but I am not holding my breath.

I feel a bit sorry for the kids at school. They were meant to be doing their musical and sales evening on the 12th the day we lost power for a week. We had one more chance to do it at a concert tomorrow night and that has now been cancelled. They put a lot of planning and effort into making some great games as well as making lots of things to sell.

We can hold the raffle in the new year, but all of their items were Christmas related. We will nox ig up and sell it next year as luckily it will keep, apart from the sweets, but at least they can take them home to share with their families.
