More Snow

Another day, another 6 inches of snow, another snowball fight among the busdrivers (this one looked to be 'boys vs girls') at the bus Depot.

It snowed all night, then half the day too, and work sent home all staff from outlying villages after lunch, then closed the office half an hour early, so the 10 of us that were left could all go home too. Ants couldn't get the car out, so didn't make it to work.

There's a layer of ice under the snow now, making pavements slick and 'slippy' (another quaint english turn of phrase). Reminds me of those winters in Finland, Belgium and Luxembourg, and I'm a bit amazed at how just a week of this kind of weather can transform the landscape and make the ice and snow feel so entrenched. It's still beautiful though - specially today, now that the sun is shining.

Ants and I are hoping we can still get up to Edinburgh on Sunday - we've tickets for the rugby, Scotland vs Wales. Anthony has wanted to see Scotland play at Murrayfield ever since we've been here. Keep yer fingers crossed!
