Warming Up.

No frost on the ground this morning for the first time for a while. It looks like the recent spell of very cold weather is on the way out to be replaced, no doubt, by the wind and rain that we all love so much at this time of the year.

Hopefully, when the cold weather departs it will take with it the collection of illnesses that have been afflicting the village over the past few weeks. The idea that cold weather kills off the colds and flu would seem to have little basis in reality given what many people have been suffereing lately.
