Properly Cold

As we got up this morning with the sun still below the horizon, the national news was reporting that just down the road from here in Woodford (where we got married in the summer sunshine last summer) the temperature was -17.6C (that's 0 degrees Fahrenheit).

I'm off to work now, having been to the shop for Hayley who has a house full of kids and won't be venturing out given the Met Office warning of ice. (I saw plenty just walking to the shop.)

I'll be on my bike... but we'll see how far I get!
