A Winter Wonderland

Oh yes! we now have snow! Good snow too - had quite a drop a few moments ago! Very excited..... as our the boys! School closed; toboggan runners, greased!

later.... just been to get some provisions from Tesco and the main roads are okay. Okay, until that is I came down into Polzeath. Turned into Trenant Close (where we live) and the Landy decided that gravity was more attractive. So I started to slide down the road - which was very scary! Got the heart going that's for sure, especially as the road just keeps on getting steeper!
The ABS was working overtime and eventually I pulled the beast into the kerb. Turns out I might not have engaged the 4WD fully - silly me!

Great website for seeing if you're about to get snow http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

These photos were taken up on the Moor. Got the Landy stuck twice... thanks Bill (Escape Surfboards) and family for pushing us out... twice! Misjudged the depth of snow the Landy could handle!
