Want to know 'Why I Blog'?

Then head on over here to the BritMums blog where I'm blowing my own trumpet. Again.

(And which, if I have to be honest, I'm especially delighted about featuring on, because having it up there takes 'write blog post' off the list of things I need to do today...)

Spring is in the air...

.. apparently.

Not here, it ain't; this was a photo I took 2 days ago and since then, it's only got colder.

Today I helped out at Boy #2's skating lesson and was relieved to learn that the -15degC we experienced on the ice today was almost the coldest the kids were expected to be out in; at -20degC the lesson would have been cancelled... Well, that's alright then.

However, even grumpy old me has to admit that the days are getting longer (I could even see far enough outside my window at 7.50am this morning to realise that I would have to go out and defrost the car a good ten minutes before we got into it because - yet again - the windows had frozen up on the inside), so to acknowledge that, I'm taking part in the BMB February Blog Hop.

Enjoy!
