Well, we've had some 'proper' snow at last. Not much, but some. I took this photo from the relative warmth of our porch this afternoon.
I'd like to dedicate this post to my next door neighbour John, who unexpectedly and sadly died today. He worked as a journalist on the Nottingham Evening Post, specialising in entertainment and local history. He had been ill for some time, and although still not 100%, John had recently gone back to work. He was planning to write a cookbook of some description. I had been scouring the charity shops and jumble sales for old cookbooks, which he was using for research. I know he will be sadly missed by all those who knew him, as he was very jovial and had lots of tales to tell.
Sorry you've lost a friend, especially at this time of the year when it seems so wrong.

Yes John will be sadly missed, he was quite a character but most of all a true gentleman, not many of those around nowadays.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts go out to Adele and Andrew. RIP John Brunton.

At last some real snow. I love to watch it, but like so many people here in the UK hate to drive in it.
