We went out shoping to the local farm, about 1.00, for the Christmas meat, whilst we were able to get out, and up the farm track. Mission accomplished, we came to do the M***sons shop. Whislt munching on me bacon butty in the cafaterie, turned to look through the windo, and Oh golly gosh, for want of other expletives. There was the precipitous white stuff. And it has not stopped in the last couple of hours. Weather gel had forecasted it for Saturday, not today. And, if I could see the sky, I would say it is full of it, and it is settling.
Here we jolly well go again.

Please keepit there at least for today as we are out this evening. Unfortunately the pub restaurant we are going to is on the banks of the River Severn, gets pretty 'parky' there.

Well, Julia, at least you will have some grub for the Big Snow In, Julia!! And, hopefully, lots of vino to keep you warm. BC XX

Oooh Ann, I didn't send it, honest promise.LOL. Be careful.
Nollaig me darlin' always plenty of vino here, for medicinal purposes you understand.
Whilst at the farm shop I managed to get some shin beef and oxtail. I'm making a Suet Pudding with Dark Bitter Ale for Sunday with it, for a change to roast dinner. Whole process takes 10 hours. Only hope it is worth it. LOL
Take care everyone.

It's snowing heavily here in Kettering right now,and I have to drive to the Station at 6.30 to pick up my daughter.I'm hoping the roads are still too wet for it to settle yet.I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT!!

its terrible in Middlesbrough, we have had rain then snow then sleet back to mre snow, its so cold its unreal :(

The roads are wet so if it freezes it is not going to be good as we have a small country lane to go down to get to the pub. Wish we had not arranged to go (and we have paid up front) now.

Wev'e had rain most of this morning

there it was... GONE .. thanks goodness ..lol
