  1. Here in the Midlands, it is quite a nice mild day for the time of year. Some of my front garden is quite swampy still, so winter dog walking boots will be out in a bit. Walking by the river probably a no go because since all the new houses that have been built and still being built on flood plains, the River Trent does flood more than it used to.
