Snow Away !!

Winter Wonderland – ok we have had lots of fun,  now will you please go so that we can get on with our life. :-)

It didn’t help that i happened to be travelling home in the worst snowfall in 30 years.  My friend and i had been visiting the historic town of Bath and the snow fall was so bad we had to abandon the car and walk back to the nearest town, so eerie walking through  deserted streets looking for a place to stay … all the pubs were like the Marie Celeste – the poor landlords making no money that night. The places to be where it was all happening were the hotels … and the church halls – the hotels were all booked up with fellow travellers …  we finally got a room on the edge of the town  We were so grateful to get a room and the view from our bedroom was pure picture postcard.

However we still had to get home the roads were  impassable – so headed off to get a train.

Was it ever going to come,  we managed to catch one of the few trains going our way –  there was a lot of hold ups and at one point we hit a tree but  all was ok and  we continued on with the journey, there were some great views

 

trees creaking with heavy snow 

sitting in one station what a beautiful photo opportunity finally  back home little un was most impressed with Mr Russki

But a few days later was surprised to find that Mr Russki was half blinking and had no hat or scarf and then found out that the stone lady in the garden that usually looks like this

was apparently feeling a little cold …

    

so little un sorted her out :-)
