Ah no; a little filler is all. It looks like the guys who fitted the double glazing may have cracked the stone and over time, a piece has worked free and fallen out - terrible draft coming through through there so we aim to fix it next time we're home.

The weather's not too bad here in the north today, just a little cold, damp and foggy - but I think the south is catching it badly today and we're due for more snow tomorrow when the wind turns northerly. )o:

How are things in NC? I'll never forget that snow; about a half an inch fell, it was all gone by lunchtime and the local news show was still talking about it a week later. I kinda got the impression it doesn't snow too often in Chapel Hill. *G*
