                    <title>to collect a tent</title>
                    <description>A couple of weeks ago an accident befell Alex39s new tent due to freak winds. So he and Ineke took it to a repair man on the Wirral and today we all went to collect it. It was well mended much to our relief and we spent a great day at the Wirral Country Park and the Marine lake at West Kirby  which is a man made lake for learning to surfboard and sail but noone trying it out today.</description>

                    <description>For several years I39ve wanted to go to the Green man festival at Clun but due to working on Mondays haven39t made it. Today dawned sunny and warm so off we went. Its a great bit of theatre as the Green Man meets the Ice Queen on Clun bridge and after a bit of a tussle  winter is driven from the valley. Of course there39s plenty of folky stuff and entertainment and it was a lovely d</description>

                    <description>the last week and a good dollop of snow too. Alex managed to get to work by leaving the car at the bottom of the drive but mine was snowed in by the house so I got out a new jigsaw and turned up the fire We really had a lot of snow  we couldn39t even walk on the field for 4 days. And it was hard to clear from the roads as there was nowhere to put it. There are still huge mounds of icy sno</description>

                    <description>Spent a lovely sunny day on the banks of the Clun planting trees to provide some more shade for those freshwater mussels.  We did another stretch last year its a beautiful place to spend a day outside and a lovely drive to get there too.</description>

                    <description>We needed to give Alex39s ankle a test before he goes back to work and I39d seen a bit in the paper aboout the Ironworks in Oswestry. So we went for a look. It was a bitterly cold day despite 4 days of summer before that but the sun came out for us. I believe that the animals are going to be placed around town as a safari trail.</description>

It was pretty rough and great fu</description>

                    <description>Ineke returned from New year in Holland yesterday and I was going to pick her up from the airport in Liverpool. When I mentioned this to Lynda she suggested we went earlier and made a day of it. So we did. Had lunch in the chinese cafe we found last time took a tour on the open top bus and then climbed to the top of the cathedral and saw the sunset. And lastly collected Ineke spot on time.

                    <description>We39ve had a very cold few days and when it rained Friday morning on the cold ground it turned straight to ice. which was hard as I couldn39t turn the car round to get down the drive........ and i was taking Ineke and Caroline to Birmingham to see the Messiah King39s College and Age of the Enlightenment. In the end it melted thanks to heavy rain and I was on schedule. I picked Carol</description>

                    <title>frosty walk</title>
                    <description>So some of you are roasting at 22 degrees. but it was absolutely gorgeous here today so we went for a walk at Dolanog 5 miles away. blue skies sun and clear views to the snowy mountains. The sheep had gone down to the farms for the winter so we had no company except a buzzard.</description>

                    <title>winter fuel</title>
                    <description>After having the new stove fitted we thought a load of wood before the cold weather would be sensible. After delivery I took the dog for a sunny walk in the woods while Alex worked had to get it all stored in the dry. Good teamwork.</description>
