The North wind doth blow

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

My Aunt arrived this week for a visit and so did another wave of unbelievably cold weather. Marion can remember lots of rhymes and poems from her childhood so we are teaching the kids this very appropriate one!

I am feeling like the little robin...not wanting to leave home so am spending a lot of time drinking tea and eating M's homemade coffee and walnut cake!

Lets hope for a warmer spell next week!
