Good morning (just) from a chilly northwest coast.
Great trip to Snowdonia yesterday, the hills and mountains dusted with snow, reminding me of mounds of stollen.
Wild mountain goats came down to the lake at Llanberis, quite a sight with their huge horns. A local resident said he hadn’t seen that in thirty years.
Quiet day today and buon viaggio Mick.
Will read through later.

Too late to post today really , I have been inA+E with my dear friend’s MIL aged 99. My friend’s DH is also in hospital after a heart attack so I went at 7am to sit with her so friend could come home for a sleep as she had been there all night . Poor MIL is very confused , she had a fall in the care home and the hospital is concerned about the extensive grazing and bleeding of her very frail skin on arms head and leg . No beds of course until 10am this morning . So once she was settled on the ward I came home . My poor friend is so upset with both herDH and MIL . That’s the problem with living so long , your children become elderly too.

Very late reading all your posts. Hope you are having a good time on your holiday Mick. It was cold and dark when I started this morning but although cold it was not frozen today, so have made the effort to get those hyacinths and daffodils planted whilst the soil was not frozen over. No idea what the minitaure daffs will make of sudden plunge very late into cold soil but they have two chances, grow or not. I have bought the mobility scooter but between the bad weather and not being so well have not yet brought it here. So today rang the seller up and went up to have a little ride about on it to check I remembered how it worked - each type seems to have its own ways. This is very light to handle and you can put it on fast or slow speed. So I have come back and have been moving big pots on the trolley thing around and some put in the garage out of the way. Sounds mad but the garages have no electricity, quite old and my car would not fit into it anyway, so it is being used as storage and so forth and need to get the electrician to put me a proper electric charging point , and also work out what sort of cover I am going to get for it as it will be outside. So regretfully the hard standing where I had quite a good array of different pots and plants has had to be dismantled - well doing a bit at a time, cant do it all at once, so have made some headway with sorting it out. Still dry outside but now getting quite cold so time to think of getting my casserole sorted out but a well deserved cup of coffee needed first. Hope you have all had a good day
