Remember Snow Days from school?  If the bus hadn’t come by the time of the school bell, you could slide happily back home to a day of snowball fights and hot chocolates in front of the fire – bliss!

Which is a way of letting you know that The Dock is taking a Snow Day today, as most of the volunteers are, by the sounds of things, back in a hunter-gatherer dark age, trapped behind snowdrifts and surviving without electricity (especially spare a thought for Tegan, co-ordinating cancelling the volunteers and the bakery order with her mobile phone’s fading battery, with no electricity to recharge it when it dies – gulp!)

For those of you who can, batten down the hatches, light the fire and relax!

And in the hope that our second ice-age might have abated a little by tomorrow, Saturday in Dock Cafe will see another new idea tried-out in the new pop-up market stall:  Colin’s range of funky-sounding health and beauty products.  Come and bag a (healthy) bargain!
