The day the "Beast from the East" arrived, I heard a radio DJ whine that it wasn't all that bad. We had snow but nothing had settled...commentator's curse?
The following day (Wednesday) it snowed....and snowed....and snowed some more. The schools were closed. Buses were cancelled. I managed to drive halfway up the main road to the village, but had to give up and walk the remaining distance home after work.
Thursday was a "snow day" as the main road was impassable so I spent the day with some movies and my stitching. The only gardening to be done was clearing snow from paths, drives and evergreens.
And then the real Beast arrived in the form of icy winds. Cutting through to the bone, the freezing temperatures continued whilst the UK came to a halt.
And now....the thaw.
