Those of you who have been keeping a watchful eye on the world's weather recently, will no doubt be aware that most of Europe is currently in the grip of a severe cold spell originating in the cold wastes of Siberia. Temperatures here in England are well below freezing and I as I look out of my study window, the snow is falling thickly. I loathe this time of year and am therefore only too happy to be spending most of the day wrapped in the arms of my current virile young lover, in the warmth of my magnificent four-poster bed. So I do hope you will forgive the paucity of offerings this past week!
