Well we finally have snow...
A whole two inches. It was great to see kids and dogs playing on the cliffs and making snowmen. Took me back the decades to when I was very young and we used to vet this every year...
Tuesday night I crawled back from Lymmers inthe sleet to beat the work traffic and did a shop at Tesco to make sure we didn't have to go out having called my blind neighbour to see if she needed anything, then went home, located shovel and broom from garage and put in porch and waited. Next morning just a sprinkle of snow... was wondering what the fuss had been about (though I had to clear huge lumps of ice from my wheel arches) and the snow arrived. Visted neighbour walked to post offince catching snowflakes on my tongue and feeling my shoe size not my age! Later went up and took pictures on the cliffs. Fell over on the way fortunately on to well padded arse. Came home .. cleared path outside house - something everyone used to do in the old days. I know we have a lot of oldies here but I couldn't believe I was the only one to bother. It only took a few minutes.
I fell again going to the paper shop and the snow is now sheet ice in parts. I was safer driving here to the library because it is so quiet and once got the half mile to the main drag the roads are clear. Pavements are not!!! I need ot dig out my walking boots as the fake UGGS are cosy but not grippy enough...
Suppose I shouldn't really have come out but I have missed out on a work assignment to someone who lived closer so was a bit fed up. Going to get some circular needles and make a swallows and amazon cap... :D Also more salt.... in cash we get more snow. It kept the path clear last night when it was really parky.
