-7C this morning and ice on the inside of one window! It's double-glazed but in a north facing room and I didn't have the heating on in there yesterday.

Is the train trip the Savannahlander? Although if it is I can't work out what the large thing is.

Joan was always such great fun and we're definitely going to miss her.
