So grateful we managed to get to and from dialysis yesterday. The snow came down heavily in the morning. Paul stayed with me and Chloe stayed at home looking after the kitten. Some patients didn't manage to get to the hospital. It is scary to think of the consequences of not going. We would appreciate your prayers for the next few days.

We now have a new baby visiting us. Ben has bought a pygmy hedgehog for his girlfriend for Christmas and he arrived this morning after a night in a service station with his owners. He is so beautiful - hopefully pictures later. His name is Timothy.

We are off to have a cooked breakfast now - hope you are all warm and snug in your houses.
