Oh, woe! I’ve just read my last blog post and all the plans I wrote about have gone out of the window as a nasty cold virus flew in! It’s bitterly cold too. Britain has done it’s usual thing of falling apart at the seams as soon as there’s any snow or ice, Norfolk was particularly badly hit yesterday afternoon. I drove in in the morning with very little problem to get Tim to the heliport, it was sunny and beautiful with the blue sky and the fresh snow.
However, despite the optimistic Radio Four weatherman reassuring us first thing in the morning that it was all over and moving away, we had an hour or so of heavy snow in the afternoon and it caused huge problems. I’ve heard from several friends that it took up to five hours for their children to get home from school, some having to overnight with a school friend, and others taking 2 hours to travel just a mile on their way home from work on gridlocked roads.
I would be happy not to venture out at all today, but I need to pay my daily visit to my mum to make her lunch, wearing a mask and gown perhaps to protect her from the germs!
However, Higgins and I went out when the sun shone, and I do try hard to look on the bright side of life so I thought I would share our walk, doing my Pollyanna thing!
This was what came down at lunch time…
But when the sun came out again it was glorious…
The fields were best place to be as our little spot suffered from a rash of tractors driving sugar beet of the fields, the roads looked as if they were filled with mud slush puppy! Higgins knows he looks good in the snow doesn’t he?
…it didn’t take him long to get into puppy mode though…
It’s just as well we had a good walk yesterday because today we are both staying tucked up by the fire…
see you soon …x
