Squiggle, I've found a video clip of the iced up house. It's used as a week-end getaway by the owners who aren't there.
Thank goodness for that EL, I was concerned.
Good afternoon 
a brief rain shower here soon cleared to bring us a sunny albeit windy morning 
do any of you have a water butt? I've been researching them and it seems the most economical prices & resources are directly from Northumbrian water 
Summer, I don't have a water butt. There was one at my parents' house. I don't know that they ever used the rainwater from it though. They might have years ago to water the garden but I don't think they ever cleaned it so the bottom of the butt must have been extremely dirty with all the silt accumulating over the years.
Great work moonie 
your laundry will smell amazing
el, they recommend emptying the butt during winter as frozen water could crack the butt, i think I would get good use out of watering the garden with it- especially as I'm now on a meter

Fankoo Sweet, it certainly will
We have two plastic water butts. Ex chemical containers. Steam cleaned of course. My dad got them many many years ago 
Still hanging around in the garden
Hope you and Bramble have a great day

I couldn't be inside that house, I'm far too claustrophobic!
Evening all.
I had a great day with the children.
Summer, a water butt sounds like a good idea. We get so much rain up here, I could fill a reservoir!
Evening 
aw yogi they are adorable
velvet, I've been wondering where you are lately
Sorry Summer, I was in the Mutiny thread. Have you had a good day?
Velvet, the road situation is appalling up here - along with everything else.
I'm going to get off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams Velvet and Summer.
Hugs for the night owls

Good morning everyone.
The sky is full of grey clouds and rain is forecast.
The light mornings mean I am waking earlier. I don't mind though as I love listening to the birds singing.
Have a good day everyone
Good morning I hope everyone slept well
i love these lighter mornings and bird songs too yogi it's so much easier to get out of bed
I'm going out walking, will be back later, have a great day
Good morning everyone, plenty of cloud but dry and fairly mild. Have a good ramble with Bramble Summer!
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning everyone
Already been and banked, washing on the line, garden debris binned. Now me bin is so heavy I can get it up garden steps 
Never mind my nephew will do it. He is built like a brick outhouse 
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the bumble bees are bumbling
Yogi, glad you had a lovely time with the tiddlers
Sweet, hope you and Bramble have a lovely jaunt
Squiggle, I hope the sun shines upon to at sometime today
El, wafting some sunshine your way
Have a lovely day peeps

I've taken the opportunity to do my first grass mowing of the year. As I was finishing I heard a near neighbour start his mowing so it must be catching.
You are most welcome El
Still lovely, sunny and warm here
More gardening done. Looking a lot better but still a long way to go 
More washing just about to go on the line. Then the weeding starts 
Have a super afternoon Sunshine El and everyone else too
Evening I hope you've all had a good day
we enjoyed our walk, lunch and long hot bath after
Leaving goodnight hugs for everyone hope you all have a good day tomorrow
Glad you had a good day, Summer. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
Hugs for the night owls.

Thanks El
I'm waiting in for the gas engineer this morning but hope to go grocery shopping afterwards.
He had been and gone, El, and everything is working fine.
Grocery shopping awaits!
Good morning everyone, grey and chilly this morning, hope it's better where you are. That's nice to have the boiler engineer's visit out of the way so quickly Yogi, I hope the shopping goes well, don't forget cakes for Moonie.
Enjoy your day everyone
Yogi, I'm glad that the engineer's been and gone and all is working fine
Squiggle, as you say it's rather grey and not aa warm as yesterday. I don't think we are going to get any snow here but I do remember being in Cardiff on work years ago at this time of year and there was snow everywhere. The Cheltenham Festival (with the Gold Cup) normally takes place at this time of year and that was ongoing then. Some of the other workers were following it as they had bets on. A lot of people from Ireland come to the Festival every year as part of their annual holidays and also tomorrow is St Patrick's Day.
4 cyclists decided to use GPS for a bike ride around Perth in Australia. This is their route. I'm not kidding you.
