We woke on the first day of British 'Summer' Time to find ice on the birdbaths following a night during which the air temperature fell below zero and, as we set off to buy some eggs....

We love these eggs: they're a warm brown on the outside, a good size - there's a pound coin to the right for scale - they have gloriously yellow yokes, the boxes are re-used ones and, at £1.80 a half-dozen, they seem good value for genuinely very widely free-range eggs.
It continues to snow and the forecast is for sub-zero temperatures again overnight.
