The school run this morning was no fun at all. Heavy rain before midnight followed by a sudden drop in temperature led to a severe frost and black ice. Gritters hadn’t been dispatched because of the wet weather and the roads were in a treacherous condition. Cars slithered and slid, back wheels spinning. Fortunately everyone was very sensible, no one went above 30mph on the country roads. Even the traffic on the A69 crawled along at 50mph on the dual carriage way section towards Hexham.

Today was the 10 year olds first day back at school following the Christmas holidays. He was keen to get back, eager to compare notes with his friends over presents. J went back yesterday and has settled in to school life relatively easily. He goes swimming today with his school so that should help maintain his momentum.
I’m back to work. Dividing my time between creating new images for spring, composing ‘Along the Wall’ and preparing a course for beginners in composition which I intend to have up and running soon. Starting to feel productive again after the holiday period and have to admit I’m ready for it.
