REALLY DON'T ENVY...

... anyone who's out on the roads this morning. What a nightmare this weather is. I've just heard that Northumberland are advising parents not to send their children to school today. Bet Charles wishes they'd announced that earlier! I WAS going to go to Morpeth later, but think I might not bother as the police are advising drivers to undertake essential journeys only, and really coffee at Central bean isn't THAT essential. On a worrying note, I found what I thought was a matted section of hair on Rose last night, but on closer inspection discovered that it is in fact a thickened area of skin behind her right foreleg. We're going to take her to the vets to get it checked out, but I'm quite anxious about it. I hate it when there's anything wrong with the girls and just hope and pray that it turns out to be nothing serious.
