"The weather outside is frightful"......
Yesterday it was dank and dreary and monochrome.
It threatened snow at the dog park
and was plain dull walking home.
The dog sat in my armchair looking fed up.
In the afternoon it did start to snow
and was vile to go out in
though somewhat picturesque.
So it was bliss to go to Frances' house for tea and admire her decorations
eat yummy Mexican wedding cakes
and delight in red berries.

Go to Cait O'Connor's thoughtful blog for a very kind review of my novel A Fortunate Child. I'm glowing.

Looks very cosy at your friend's house, just the thing after your walk. The weather does look a bit chilly...
