Snowy Day

Well the Internet and phone have only just been restored - nine days without has made us realise how much we use it. I thought I'd do a quick post just in case the four inches of snow persuade it to go down again!

The snow started yesterday afternoon and carried on, very lightly, all night so there was a perfect amount for sledging when we got up. We wrapped up very warm and spent a few hours around the village messing about and sledging. I'm quite surprised how long we all lasted without getting cold. We met up with some friends and carried on for a bit longer before a break for hot chocolate and coffee.

This afternoon I think we'll light the fire and lounge about in front of it doing very little. Perhaps we'll have a little wander out before bed to enjoy the snow before it turns to sludge.


As for Lucy, she again stayed at the vets all week, just coming home yesterday.
She's back there again tomorrow morning (along with Ned who's getting 'done'). We're not sure if she'll be home again during the week, I suppose it depends how her leg is looking. At the moment she still has a full leg bandage but while at the vet she only has a little one on, I think they know that she'll be jumping and playing with Ned and the kids at home so want to give that extra protection.

Poor Lucy! I've thought of her (and you) several times. I hope she's all healed up soon.

Thanks for the thoughts Suzanne! I went to visit Lucy on Wednesday when the bandage was off. Her leg looks a bit gruesome - red and raw but at least there is a layer of 'granulation' cover her tendons and bone. Hopefully in the next few weeks the skin and hair will begin to cover a lot of it and she'll have a normal(ish) looking leg! Rather long process and I keep feeling very thankful that we had the forethought to get insurance.

I like Toby's blanket. I got one of those.
