Twas the night before Christmas, well nearly

So, three days to go and all sorted, just some fresh veg and milk and bread to buy and that's everything done for the Christmas break. Just hope that the snow goes away so that my daughter Kate can travel down from Somerset for the Christmas weekend.

The snow is very pretty but it does tend to dispupt travel plans. Hopefully it will wait until everyone has got where they need to be for Christmas then it can snow for a week.
