| The valiant little group of hen houses face the snow |
The farm tractors have compacted the snow into sheet ice and this coupled with incline of the lane has meant that only 4 x4 s and farm traffic have managed to get through!
Having said this I was gob smacked yesterday when Della from pen-y-cefn-isa shot right up the lane in her tiny nissan Micra, without stopping once!!!
That certainly knocked my masculinity!
So armed with a spade and my fisherman's socks, I am just about to try another lane run to escape the village for an hour or so.Earlier the dogs followed Constance's example and all peed on the back patio (she looked at me sternly this morning as if to say "you've got to be f*cking kidding") when I took them all for a walk at 7.30...and then promptly opened her bladder like a horse two inches outside the back door!
Yellow snow is not a pretty sight.
I am due to go to Sheffield on Saturday to attend a wedding do! ( the daughter of the famous Bel Ami!!!) I just hope I can get there!!! I need to shed my wellies for an evening in the city at least once this year!!!
You'll need your wellies on in the city I'm afraid John - pop over and see how much weve got! xxxxx
ReplyDelete...and its still falling!xxxx
ReplyDeleteBe there or be a very cold Welshman!
ReplyDeleteTime to get some Nordic skis! Weeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteConstance and Molly are twins......she refuses to go outside point blank when its raining, and the only way I can get her out is for me to go and get wet with her.........
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel with all that bloody white stuff.........ask me in February how I feel.......we'll be twins.

Dear John, Now, you really must cheer up. After all, the snow may well be with you for a fortnight yet!!! Wellington boots and a suit might well have to be the order of the day on Saturday...perhaps you will have to hitch a lift in the Nissan!!!
ReplyDeleteJohn, you are not bored, you just don't feel in control. I hate that feeling of not being able to go when I want. We had a litle snow last night also, but not like you. I can relate to the "pee on the porch" scene that's what Mazzy and Annie did this morning. But then they ran in the yard to play. Make a pot of soup, it will make you feel better.
ReplyDeleteHope you get out ok and have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI made a pan of soup, cleaned the patio of yellow snow and got out of the lane to the "civilisation" of nearby Prestatyn!
ReplyDeleteoh the heady whirl of it all!!!
and yes bev
I do feel in control again!

Glad you got out! Our first snow of the season is falling now, and I'm marveling at the beauty of it all. Of course, I have an all wheel drive car, and no incline to my driveway, so I know I can get out any time.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW our day is coming to be buried in that white stuff!!! Hope you get to the wedding John......time to rejuvenate a little.

Pah, it's only a bit of snow. You want to trade in that Berlingo for a pick-up truck.
ReplyDeleteWear the Wellies, then change when you get there? :)

OMG that looks too cold, yikes!
ReplyDeleteLovely jubbly as Del Boy would say:) I'm more than happy for you to send some snow here John♥ Hope you make it to Sheffield. Linda xx
ReplyDeleteWell ugggg and as they say "shoot me now" I just hate cold weather and snow just adds insult to injury.
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay for five minutes its Ohhh how pretty.. then its, go away, melt, be gone!!
Glad you got out a bit!
Come on man! You are only limited by your imagination - stop imagining the worst and put on the positive face.
ReplyDeleteMust admit, tho' coping with snow like you people have to do in Northern climes must be a testing time requiring a lot of adaptation to changing circumstances!
Brrr..that looks cold! Time for some snow shoes?
ReplyDeleteyep, i like the ski idea... skiis, an ipod and flask. certainly, that would take the boredom away!
ReplyDeleteHi John. Just reading the online Guardian. You're not the only one with a crush on Matt Cardle! http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/dec/01/the-x-factor-matt-cardle
ReplyDeleteLast night on the news here they showed a satellite photo of Great Britain. My jaw dropped. It was white, top to bottom. I'd heard rumors that the weather gods were predicting a cold and snowy winter for Europe but the visual was still shocking. Hang in there!!

I know you're sick of the snow, but the scenery and photograph is beautiful.
