I've suddenly gone all Coleridge !

Ashby this morning for MJ. Wonderful winter landscape.
"And frost performs its secret ministry"

Just got in; took the train to London. Christmas shopping - Oxford Street and Covent Garden.

Great - the Christmas Cards are ready to collect from the printers. Let's see how they're received.

Close-up magic for a ladies' luncheon in Derby. Heavy snowfall on the way back. JS rang today.

Got to the gym on the way back from the Station before the heavy snow set in. sine labore nihil !

Snowing all day. Tried to get to the gym - roads clogged. Ashby tonight for a formal golf dinner.
