We are going out to a friends 60th birthday party later at the local hotel. It isn't far to walk - 5 minutes down hill and 10 minutes back home again - in normal weather!!!!
I am not looking forward to the trek there - I nipped outside earlier and the snow comes well over the top of my boots! I am going to have to find my waterproof trousers out I think.
I can't not go though - we are within walking distance and it would be awful to think that she had her party with hardly anyone there. And anyway, there will be loads of food! And alcohol!
