Winter is here!

What a day to arrive in a Georgian home without any central heating!!  I am sitting halfway up the chimney and am still in ice block mode.

Sarah collected me at 9 am with Gabriel and we met up with Hannah in Bath.  We had a very pleasant late brunch together and wandered around the city which is very pleasant and if it hadn't been raining heavily, would have extended us some beautiful views of the countryside, rolling hills and beautiful autumnal colours.  But we did visit the local abbey, and the healing natural "bath houses" where King George took to the waters for their beneficial healing qualities.

We got back to Hannah's house in Somerset in time to travel on down to Wells to pick up the children from school and gymnastics and though we were home by 6.30 pm, it was dark by 5 pm, so it FELT more like 8pm or later.

It's now 10.15 pm and I'm more than ready for my bed.  Im looking forward to the electric blanket.

It seems funny to think that this time next week I'll just about be in Dubai en route for warmer climes - at least let's hope it will be warmer climes.  I'm not keen on this "two winters back to back" lark.
