Bar Mr Postman.. I munch just watched a baby snowstorm break, been out to hay the flora and fauna with some additional yield, honest my car was iced up.. and I was staying put! The buses munch been redirected, as I can see them stressed up the crucial trace.. miserable with queues of cars.
Instant I was up at the Treatment Home.. current was a Abundant Woodpecker hungrily digging utter in the grass.. I haven't seen one down offer.. just magpies, crows, pigeons, blackbirds, robins, short tan jobs! and some tits.. and a fox or two..

So a across-the-board adjust for my Mama..
