On the basis that a watched kettle takes twice as long to boil i thought perhaps my definate need for a bath would probably have a detrimental effect on the pipes thawing....as in they wouldn't.
So, the sun shining and the ground crispy and crunchy, wrapped up warm I persuaded Mr.H to accompany me on a walk.
Some negotiation took place as to exactly where we would walk and the merits and disadvantages.
I was suprised to hear Mr.H advocating a rather steep hill climb over a flat walk along the valley floor in the sunshine until i realised the true motivation....beer.
Good beer in a freezing cold pub served by a landlady, best described as ancient won over a third rate pint of insipid something in a warm pub served by a slightly less aged landlady.
Huffing and puffing and many a rest...I mean stop to admire the view and we finally reached the top.

The words ' hill walk' strike fear in me. I can amble along on the flat no prob, but am so unfit that steepness and I do not go together. I once climbed a small mountain in Ausria and the only thing that kept me going was the fact that the friend I was with (and who was very much ahead) had all the chocolate in her rucksack.
