On a cold, cold Saturday morning, three furry creatures set out to pick up a few items for Mr M.

The bitter wind whipped around them, but they braved the arctic conditions and managed to deliver the goods within a couple of hours.

Mr M was also feeling the cold. Unfortunately, he has an ear infection, so answered the door donning a deer stalker hat to protect his ears.

Not wanting him to feel the chill, I kept our chat to a minimum...just enough time to mention the weather (of course).

Hoping for a change in the weather next week and a chance for Mr M to at least get a bit of fresh air.
