1) 8:45am. Off to the Cats Protection are you? Don't worry about me. I've got everything I need right here. Don't forget to close the door behind you on the way out.
2) It's been an epic, but we have got here. It took 30 minutes to get the car de-iced and out of the car park. Once off the side roads and onto the main roads it was OK apart from some patchy freezing fog but, despite having the heater on full for the entire drive to Anne and Derek's and then to the CP itself, the inside of the windscreen was still icy. We get to the CP at 10:30am - an hour later than usual - not too bad considering.
3) Pandora is waiting for us. She's learnt a salutary lesson this long hard winter: don't go outside and definitely don't stray far from your heated cushion. She's guarding it with her life.
4) Pandora, let me in!Naaaaaah!
5) The 'you don't have to be mad to volunteer here, but it helps' club has arrived.
6) Anne and Derek, happy in their work.
7) Elsie (for it is she) is happy to get a shoulder to purr on but not so happy to be taken outside.
8) With all cats fed, medicated, and cleaned-out, it's time to drive back through a Worcester Winter Wonderland for a Boxing Day lunch at Anne and Derek's before driving back home to give Emlyn his second Christmas dinner. We conclude that this winter wonderland-lark is all very well as long as you don't have to drive in it.
