FINALLY!
We've been waiting all day, watching the window and watching the weather reports that show snow in just about every other damned place in the UK...

Just checked and we finally have some of our own!
Tiny, weeny flakes. But it's settling. A dusting right now, but some parts of the county will get up to 20cms! We won't (protected by the Chiltern Hills) but I'd settle for 10...

I know, I know, everyone moans about it. But I don't. I've never complained about snow, only the lack of it.
What have I got to worry about? I'm here, warm, have nowhere I particularly need to go, all bills paid up already, have pies for tomorrow night's tea. Sorted.

And regardless of snowfall, our local shop will be open, so even emergency items can be purchased (for us and Grandad, whose idea of an emergency item is a packet of Jaffa Cakes). It's a brisk 5 minute walk, and Mr Shah would open even in the event of a nuclear winter.

This is probably the last snowfall(s) I don't have to worry about getting to work, the cost of heating, having enough food in, general house maintenance issues like frozen pipes etc. So I'm going to enjoy myself!
