I have given up counting how many days we have been snowed in, for the UK plunging temperatures are causing havoc and we in the highlands are expecting -20 tonight . We have plenty of food,oil,coal,whisky,port,gin, cartridges and amazingly the electric is still with us as is the telephone. Weather permitting we might be able to resupply(GET OUT!) this weekend. I am sorry to hear Hamish is not too well, nothing serious I hope, and that he is wrapped up and in the warm.All the very best Hamish!
