Snow go



Noooooooo-it's that time of year again when Britain grinds to a halt after two flakes of snow, the rest of the world laughs at us and the same old crappy headlines get trotted out again.
Despite only a few inches of snow, the roads around here quickly became gridlocked as usual and true to form all the kids got sent home instead of spending their last day at school before the Christmas holidays.

I'm not sure if the frozen stuff will linger long enough to make it a white Christmas this year. It brings out the best in some people and the worst in others. We've had the usual snow-balling cretins causing hassle for the police in our little town.
But in exchange for photographing their holly tree in the snow, I helped somebody to get their car up the steep driveway outside their home. So thats my good deed for the day and now it's time for a minced pie reward :-)

Here's a great Christmas card I just received which was shot at Sywell today-it's a Fokker Triplane scale replica in the snow.
Probably the best way to travel at the moment!
