Where has winter gone...

not though it matters too much at the moment given I am off work today feeling utterly awful and in no state to teach anyone anything.....

It has got a bit colder in the last couple of days and the incessant rain of last week has stopped....can it really be a little over a month since (so it seemed) the whole country was ground to a halt by the deep snows......

Then again - it is still mid/late Jan, hopefully there is still some time left for some more snow and half-term is 4 weeks away.
