Hello Alice and anyone else who is interested. So sorry I stopped checking for replies back in January. I have PMd you Alice and hope you are still using Gransnet. I am stuck in a glen with lots of snow at present, but fortunately was well-prepared and it has been a lot worse in previous years. Is anybody else out there getting a bit fed up of picturesque? I realise the picture throughout Aberdeenshire will be varied and I am delighted at the tales reaching me from elsewhere about the kind hearts who have quietly been looking after neighbours. Stay safe, dry and warm.
