Well, that note from my doctor excusing me from snow meant bugga all in the great scheme of things.
I'm looking after a load of horses for just over two weeks and, pausing only to strap tennis racquets to my feet, I struggled up the road to minister to my equine charges for the final time today at 8pm. Frozen pipes, taps and troughs coupled with heavy rugs, cold and hungry horses and the general embuggerance factor brought about by snow, does not make me warm to my task......... if you see what I mean.
Chap that usually looks after them departed these shores with his wife yesterday morning for warmer climes.
I am not 'appy.
