Good morning Derek - its white, frosty and flippin' cold here too. Definitely need some hot porridge to warm me up - I'm off to my monthly bottle counting/stocktaking session at the Club so I'll have to de-ice the Rover. Extra layer on today I think

Morning folks. The chill out zone is very apt this morning Minus 1.5 bringing my beloved from work. Also reports of snow falling in Central Scotland.

Don't worry Derek, my boiler room is well and truly stoked from last night
Very combustible material sprouts you know
Now at work but I'm guessing my customers will be giving me a wide berth

Just had a thought!
If I bottle it, it could make a very good de-icer for the coming months
