Snow

This last week we have had more snow than we have seen for about 20 years - several snowfalls which have not melted yet. Our minor roads have been icy all week so most of the evening activities which we enjoy have been cancelled. When you have eight successive nights at home you learn how little there is worth watching on television! But the snow has been beautiful to look at and its been lovely to hear the children whooping with joy as they zoom down the hills on their sledges - many schools have been closed on different days throughout the week. Roads and railway lines have been out of action too - how lucky we are not to have to struggle to work. The Village Shop has been a boon - but even there the shelves are beginning to look empty as supplies are unable to get through. And more snow is forecast ............
