Well, what a picture this morning was, the snow had reached 6 - 7 ins when we decided
to go for it ! :o
One or two cars had left already by 10.30 am but the Close and bay areas were still packed with
snow laden cars. Every where was quite - no distant hum from traffic and had a sense of being
on another planet. Knew the B roads were slush laden and some traffic occassionaly crawled
through. OH put on his M&S stetson - bover boots and the like, and got down to clearing the
car for take off.
My Indiana Jones, nearly lost his credentials as it was a bit colder than we thought ! ::)
Got the car warmed up and all the gadgets working while I collected my neighbour.
Off we crawled 3 senior citizens ' having a ball ' . Did about 50yds backwards in and
around parked cars untill i pointed the way I wanted to go. Crunching and rock and rolling over
the unsullied snow --- we started to titter !!
Fantastic -- don't brake, take it slowly and we were soon on our way down ' slush valley '.
You wouldn't beleive how many people didn't get to work this morning -- but they made
it to Asda !!! ;D
Felt like 1942, every one had a smile and a joke about the weather, even the checkout was
fun ' you made it then ' ' don't fancy the journey home ' ' more this afternoon -- whatever '
We got home - warm and tingling, was a good day , ;)
