White Winter

It snowed quite heavily yesterday although nothing compared to Scotland I believe, I think we got about 20cm of snow. It took us 2 hours to get to my mums, it usually takes about 15 minutes! The main roads out of where I live had not been gritted, infact the gritter went past after we had queued on a road for over half an hour at 9am, too late if you ask me! The reason for the queue is that at the end of a road there is a slope and basically people couldn't get up it, there were loads parked on the side that had given in. Pete and I got quite worried as because the traffic was so slow we kept having to start and stop, not great when you know your car is going to struggle! We did manage it but only just! Go mini!!!! The motorway was fine, but that's no good if it takes an hour to get onto it!

Because it took so long to get to my mums we then stayed there all day, Pete couldn't go do his jury service (he's not actually been assigned to a case yet so wasn't necessary he went in) as all trains were cancelled so we played on band hero and had a roast. Good times!

The snow is providing some fun for Alfie, it is up to his chin and there are all these trails in the garden where he has been which he now uses to get around. I've videoed it for you, I can't upload it for some reason so put it on youtube, click here to watch it. I don't know how to add youtube videos onto my blog properly, someone please teach me!

Edit - thanks Tori! xx
