Update #1 - December 2025

 Very little writing progress in the last week, although I have the beginnings of chapter 2, and a couple of ideas for the rest of it. This chapter needs to cover their travel from Aberystwyth to Caerwent on the south coast. I've found an interesting link to Roman roads which will be helpful, although I've covered the ones they'll be using before in Storyteller and The Old Gods Endure. Hopefully I'll make more progress in the next week.

Winter is definitely here. We had snow Tuesday night and most of Wednesday, for a total of about 4 - 4.5 inches. It seems to have been wet initially, so all the trees are covered with it, but happily there were no leaves left by then. About 10 degrees F this morning, but the temperature may creep up above freezing for a while this afternoon. Too cold for my orange cat Ruay, who is currently sleeping
in the cat bed behind this laptop!
