Happy New Year


Well it will be, when this snow disappears. We've been trapped on our estate by extremely icy roads for a few days now.

I was tidying papers away when I noticed that the deputy Mayor of Torbay lives in our street and is responsible for transport, so I emailed him complaining about the lack of gritting (we are on a bus route, but haven't seen a bus for three days).

Lo and behold, tonight a gritting lorry came down the road. I hope it will make a difference but it may be too late as the ice has really set in now. Everything depends on what the weather does tomorrow. I suppose he's going to want me to vote for him now.

I have to admit the fields across the road look nice in the snow, but I'll still be glad to see the back of it. (I think if you click on the picture you see a larger version)
