>>Tony: Nice to see some blue sky in your photos today. It's mostly grey here with flurries from time to time. And cold. I had trouble getting into the car yesterday. Door handles all full of ice. Fortunately we can just tell the car to heat itself up using an app on our phones. We're coming to England on Sunday. A favourite cousin is having a big birthday so a quick visit. Unfortunately on the south coast. Not visiting The Lakes on this visit. Wish we were. But thanks to your daily photos we can enjoy it regardless. Our Christmas should set records for chaos this year. A full house. My son is visiting from Japan. He's bringing his wife and my only grandchild. It will be the first time I have met the 5 year-old face to face! Have a very happy Christmas! Mike (Ottawa)
