Of all the things...

Well, back to some semblance of normality at last. Zoë still coughing, but in much better health. Sarah up and about, smiling again :-)

The frosty weather has meant that the shoes have stayed clean (of all the things to think about) and running has been easier in some respects i.e. not stumbling through bogs, but also the mud forms rock-hard pointy surfaces that can be quite unpleasant, especially in the barefoot shoes.

Temperatures have only just dipped below freezing here on the West coast, enough to freeze puddles etc but not enough to make life more difficult than usual. In fact, its probably milder here than London and the South-East at the moment.
