Flippin heck it's cold!

Well I am flabberghasted!! It is soooo cold. How cold, well this December could be one of the coldest Decembers since the 1650s. WOW!!

This evening we are expecting a low of minus 14!! So I think come tomorrow morning (Xmas day) I will need to pop down to lotty to say merry xmas and take a few photos of a very cold lotty.

These are exceptional times - not seen since early 1980s!
