Snow and ice have us housebound here in suburban Dublin. In fact, virtually the whole city ground to a halt yesterday and the airport was closed for a few hours. This weather has me a bit uneasy – I’m due to fly tomorrow. A few days ago when there was a slight break in the bad weather I booked a flight to Seattle – the plan being to greet our container and welcome the contents in to our new home. 
Yesterday’s cartoon in the Irish Times says it all – this is for you Bettina in County Mayo.
The snow is beautiful but when it’s life-threatening, then it loses its glamour.
To change the subject – here’s what we have been doing since we’ve been snowed in. I’m not a reader of Mills & Boon but doing this jigsaw of their covers was great. Good bold colours, definite pictures, historic context, and very easy. Very satisfying.
