It has been snowing ... a lot! It has been on and off for a week and today, Sunday, there was a real dump!
The back garden.
Our friend, Bill (aka to us as Professor Sir Wm) dropped by. It was his birthday and he is 91 years young. As luck would have it I had just finised putting the last Smartie on Ellie's 3rd birthday cake. I found a leftover candle from Ishie's 11th birthday (3 weeks ago) and so we stuck it in the top and toasted each other with our cups of coffee.

Mairi held a Burns Supper for her pals. Iain contributed with his Toast to the Haggis and Tam O'Shanter. My contribution (in abstentia) was this clootie dumpling. I do it in the pressure cooker but somebody told me today to use the microwave oven... never thought of that!
Had leftover clootie dumpling with Dot and Eleanor this afternoon. Dot's garden figures ... looking somewhat bedraggled!

Hopefully it will start melting tomorrow. The weather forecasts are very, very good... for which we are all very grateful!
This young group played a wonderful concert on Friday night. One of them was 'billeted' [not a word the British use!] with us and had to catch an early morning train for their next gig. Our driveway and Iain's car which sits outside were both covered in solid ice in the early morning. Nothing for it, but the lad put his cello in his back, and dragging his suitcase on wheels behind him he and Iain headed off down the hill treading carefully in the wheel tracks of our snowy street to the BR train station!
