Dear Mum, since you abandoned me less than a week ago its been chaos here. The weather has been snow/sleet/hail/rain/fog with occasional bursts of sunshine. Many of those have occurred simultaneously. Today there was sunshine which was doing its best to dry out all the muddy puddles around Easby Abbey, just to help the sun out I decided the best thing to do was to soak up as much of the muddy water as possible.
