Well after a day off school yesterday,Lizzie was hoping for more of the same today.She was denied as the bus turned up on time.

Just had a call from the school,....they are closing at lunchtime.The snow is really hammering down here.Local news also reports loads of problems on local roads.Time to batten down the hatches.

It was snowing pretty hard here early on so we nipped out in the Terrano to pick up a few essentials in case it carries on. It was quite good fun out on the back roads and we managed to tow a bl**dy great big bread lorry out of the snow. Herself made a video on her mobly, looks really funny with the little car lugging a lorry backwards.
