We are quite prone to cuts where we live, either in high winds or blizzard conditions. Thanks for the interesting comment though.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-48642019361890377512012-12-07T16:47:39.500+00:002012-12-07T16:47:39.500+00:00Well at least it has stopped raining for now but h...Well at least it has stopped raining for now but has been dark and miserable all day.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-87425173697847515502012-12-07T16:47:14.549+00:002012-12-07T16:47:14.549+00:00It was and is.

We had the rain and howling winds yesterday, but this morning dawned dry and bright. I keep checking the forecasts as I've told Mum I'll take her to Southport to look for something she wants, but the forecasts seem to be constantly changing. I think it will be a case of opening the curtains, seeing if the weather's ok and going.<br />Hope lunch was good, and keep warm x Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-69533174102323540222012-12-07T14:40:32.162+00:002012-12-07T14:40:32.162+00:00Intersting blog.

Can easily be frozen and when it starts to sour you'll get very useable sour cream and/or yougurt for cooking and consumption.

It has got so dark out there and the skies are very grey (with snow?) and it's only 2.30. In for the rest of the day now so it can do what it likes.
