Re: Frozen North.

Quite scary in Banbury tonight when I collected Bar from church at 6pm - freezing fog and some icy stretches around the local estate roads.

Compliments of the Season

Soon be the Season of Hostilities upon us, so this Grinch sends his best wishes to all and here's hoping for a Happy and Healthy New Year.
