Snow

[poiuyt]

Visiting family, across the road from the barrocks; behind the row of shops; so much snow, just read over 100 cars abandoned on M40, seems ridiculous that winter tyres are not legal must now

Taxi came at 1.30 then back to her friend's by 1.50. Short night for me!

Glad your DD is ok Unscary. Any news WFG ?

It all looks very beautiful but is a pain if you have to move around....I know the main roads are gritted but for those of us who live in the middle of nowhere ( I live on a ridge on the North Downs ) then it is easy to panic. ...hence my stock piling Luckily DH has nerves of steel ..he's off out picking up my friend who's stuck miles away after a night shift ...just trying to prise the dog off the sofa now to see if we can attach a sledge to him incase we need to get more bread.............

Good to hear your DD is ok scary mum!

A friend of mine lives out in the middle of nowhere and she stockpiles every year scarlett. You are very organised.

I think your dog has the right idea being curled up on the sofa!

We are practically the only family under the age of 80 where we live ( not that there are many families where the baby is the age of 80 .. ) so I like to get in extra milk etc in case it's needed .The DC make a tour of the village checking out everyone and it's amazing how many old people are quite happy surviving on a quarter of a cup a soup a day Most have fireplaces but are not very adept at making a fire and keeping it going ...but again they just don a pair of fingerless gloves .No moaning from them !

So thoughtful of your DH to go around checking on people and you getting in extra food in case your elderly neighbours need anything. How kind!

I want Scarlett as my neighbour when I'm old

There is still quite a lot of snow in Reading but it is melting. We had a fun morning on the Uni campus with DD, a sledge and our sled dog

Thanks Fran and Unscary ! I'd like to think someone is helping my elderly grandparents who live too far for me to help However , Dh has just got told off for nicking salt from the village stock pile ...so we're keeping a low profile now

Me too! As long as they don't pilfer from the village stockpile of salt!
