We've had what seemed to be a practice run of winter the last few days, wind & rain.Today and tomorrow are to be nice but a high of 20C which suits me fine, I don't want it any hotterWe need a handrail at the back door before winter as one of us is going to fall down the steps soon, but the social work dept seem to be working from home and busy. We have 3 steep biggish steps out to get coal.5
