The fog didn’t lift yesterday but we went out for a family walk anyway - up the road towards Dobcross,
turning off onto the forest path overlooking the River Tame,
coming out at the bottom of Dobcrss, with its weird decorations, where the children ran about in the park,
and finally back home along the Donkey Line.
Back at home we had tea and crumpets and cheese toasties and hot Vimto and Christmas cake - a curious mix of warming drinks and comfort food!
Today the fog is still around, bad enough to disrupt flights from Heathrow, according to news reports. The temperature hovers around 5°. It’s forecast to get colder towards the middle of next week. Is it too late to hibernate?
The other day I read that Nigel Farage believes that the Reform Party should be the opposition party in government, instead of the Tories, as his party has more members than the Conservatives. I think he might find that what really counts is how many Members of Parliament the various parties have. Meanwhile he doesn’t seem to be terribly interested in being in Parliament, despite all the effort of getting elected. He seems to have spent more time in America than in his constituency or in the House of Commons. And he appears to have a whole range of other “jobs”, at least according to this article.
I am rather loath to give him any more publicity but felt obliged to comment on his strange way of representing his constituents!
Live goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
