Winter Bewilderland


The blog has been a bit slow lately -- I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the weather. We had 4 days of snow in Hereford last week. It was a beautiful disaster. Most of the schools were closed, roads were impassible, and they ran out of salt. I heard on the telly that they were bringing in salt from France and Tunisia. I think there may have been five or six inches of snow.


We made a trip to London right in the middle of it and ended up backtracking a 100 miles or so because the only two bridges between south Wales and England were shut down (we found out later it was because of ice falling off the bridge towers.) The navigation system kept telling us to re-route but we always ignore it -- this time it had a pretty good reason to keep chirping at us. Live and learn.


Cheers!
