Apologies for anyone who has trademarked a gritters name but this morning saw the first snowfall in our garden this winter. It’s cold, cold, cold and I am happy indoors. Not much chance of Vitamin D when the sun is so low.

I have to confess I bumped someone’s car yesterday. Think ours was worst damaged as I cracked plastic on my rear bumper and white streaks on our car largely disappeared but I will wait to hear from the lady whose car I hit. I visited somewhere new and the tiny car park was busy. Numbers were exchanged.

And that was before the snow. And before I started receiving WhatsApps for a new group for DoE parents of my youngest’s friend group. Her birthday falls on one of the dates provided by the school, but she doesn’t mind!

We already know that her birthday, my oldest’s birthday and exam dates are going to clash and that’s before we throw Scout things into the mix.

A Green Beret event over the weekend saw a muddy kit brought home and added to the piles which I trip over moving round the house. A groundsheet won’t be getting cleaned and hung outside while the white fluffy stuff is here.

Will we have a white Christmas? 🎄🎅
