The only trace of snow in these parts are the remains of the 'snowmen' on the front lawn. Hardly works of art at their peak but a local who saw the images remarked that they reminded him/her (identity concealed for human rights considerations) of a couple from this parish-strikingly so even if this type of art left him/her cold. I suppose it would. So for the Hutton Think Tank's New Year Competition you are invited to nominate a person as the inspiration for the 'female' snow person (with the straw hat). The other one is too easy as I am sure many local bloggees would agree. Prizes as usual : First: A week in Paxton at a B&B of your choice. Second prize: Two Weeks in Hutton. Judges decision final. Entries to the dead letter box by 6pm tomorrow please.  ¶ 4:39 PM
