Early to bed and early to rise is all very well, but I wasn't inclined to stick my nose out of the covers around the usual four-thirty or five due to the likely temperature outside.
The sky was, however, lightening when I decided to risk it around six, and while the track pants and top helped ward off the chill things weren't as bad as they could have been thanks to a remarkably well insulated structure and I had a good hour's tapping out of the way when Madam returned from the early morning photo excursion.
With the iPad on to charge, showers were taken and cups of tea consumed. The premises are light on for tea and coffee, so intending visitors are advised to bring their own. Actually, given the almost invariable presence of Nescafe Blend 43 or International Roast you're probably best off carrying your own if you're after a decent heart starter rather than an initial surge of not too tasty caffeine.
