It has been a bit of a strange week because although it isn't far from my home to Military House, it might as well be when the first part of the journey has been turned into an ice rink!  I managed to get over to Military House today and sent out as many orders as possible during the temporary respite - the forecast is not good for tomorrow.  We don't seem to have any water there at the moment which is a bit of a worry. Still, it is very pretty - nothing as bad as Scotland of course but then this is south west England.
