I love Horrid Henry.<br /><br />The frost this morning was sufficiently robust that the cleared windscreen refroze when I drove away at 9.20. Thank you for your cheering words, Chris. The mist lingered all day on the Ups and Downs, to about knee height and it's freezing again now.<br /><br />The phone lady didn't have a particular accent and no speech impediment, I understood everything else. I think the Sage was able to work it out because of the STD code on the phone number. I'd thought it must be something to do with the Environment Agency.<br /><br />Place names are a minefield, aren't they great?
