After I walked home from town yesterday I cleared most of the snow off my car and this morning’s sunshine cleared the few remaining bits of snow and ice. The sun also warmed the ground enough to clear most of the snow off my driveway. The road however was still a little dodgy.

Six Inches Deep
I thought that Friday’s unexpected flurry of snow would have thawed out overnight. Although it didn’t snow during saturday the snow lingered making the roads in places quite treacherous.
In the early hours of sunday morning snow started to fall again and didn’t stop for nearly 24 hours. We haven’t seen this much snow for many [...]

Cambridge – Day One
Despite good intentions we set off on our journey to Cambridge later than intended. This meant we had to break for lunch on the motorway. The services in that part of the world are limited so we opted for a sandwich in Greggs.
