Serious Winter is Coming, They Say

Arctic or Siberian weather is coming the UK's way during the coming week.   We shall see.   Meantime we have had a gloriously sunny winter's day today so I thought I would take these pictures for the record:

We have inherited a splendid sofa / day bed (above) which suits the roof room admirably in every respect.   Ignore the clutter on the window ledges.   I have spent much of today (Sunday) up in the roof room with the log stove and the Sunday Telegraph for company.   That room in the sky is at its cosy best when the weather outside is awful so I await the coming week with cautious glee.

If the shock-horror weather reports are correct these may be the last pictures of life as we have known it before we succumb to the next ice age.

For the benefit of smug former colleagues living in Australia I shall report further.
