It's been a day for staying indoors, with a cruel easterly wind blowing straight through you when you venture out. We had a walk this morning via the village centre to buy a paper and admire the new paving outside the little parade of shops, coming back by the canal towpath.
The only downside of the new smart look is that they've removed the clothing bank, so now there is absolutely no rubbish or recycling disposal here, unless you've got a dog. (Plenty of dog poo bins.)
The one trip was enough; we've spent the rest of the day lurking indoors. Sheila took advantage of the battery recharging engine run to do a wash load, most of which will have to be dried on a rack in front of the Squirrel until it can be put in the airing cupboard.
We're down to our last bag of coal, so will have to pick some up either from Barton Marina, or from Shobnall when we're down there.
