Snow!

Snowing first thing, but it didn't last long.
The delayed parcel finally arrived mid-morning, so I was able to accompany MrM on a trip to Alnwick. He drove us there the very long-way round, via the Ingram Valley, so as to find some snow in the hills.
Once in Alnwick, it was a quick visit to deliver a card and gift to Frank and Rena - far too cold to chat for long outside. Then to buy a couple of last-minute essentials. A mistake to let MrM in to a supermarket unaccompanied on Christmas Eve, as he emerged with a bag full of edible treats, as well as the one item he went in for - the diets are on hold...

Back for some last-minute gift wrapping, before a cosy evening by the fire with a glass or two of port. Lovely!
