Wanted to add these quickly, which I took the other day and loved the concept of. I know the execution let it down a little, but I was a little distracted when I took them and only had a few secs to take the shot.

Snow and grass

Snow and Grass 2

All school’s back today, well, both of ours anyhow. Art centre not back though, as we’re assuming that the evenings are going to be the harder parts of the day to travel in and a missed bus late at night is a killer. ((I still remember an Arriva bus – hi guys – waiting as I ran down the road before it slammed the door in my face and drove off on a late minus one night (I’d been given a lift in a friends car to near to the bus stop. With an hour between busses that was a long night))).

Which is a less than gentle moan. Actually I do like busses, despite them occasionally being driven by surly or scary individuals and priced to not compete. I like sitting near the back, left hand side, opening up the laptop (Macbook natch not rich enough for a Pro and prefer the smaller 13 inch screen size) and typing away. So busses still get the nod from me, but occasionally a hesitant one. People often complain of having no time, me, I have no time also, but love the hour and a half I spend on a bus on a travelling day…

Anyhow, one school is not open, against the County Council advice, because the roads near it aren’t too treacherous, but too full of parents who drive their kids in, which makes them treacherous (seriously the drivers around the school don’t care about who’s around as long as they get their parking space.) Add ice into the mix and the school was right, although I dare say they’ll get a bit of flack for it.

Apart from that college is back also, but Weds is my clear day, so spending the day typing (mainly Sylver) as long as I can do so. Starting from… now!

I’m by no means a decent snapper, again, wifey’s much better than I am on that score, but these made me smile over the past couple of days so they’re uploaded for my egotistical vanity pleasure

By far my favourite thing, when it snows, is the look of trees and branches covered in snow. Dunno why just appeals to me. Loads of pix of those, but that’s more of a me thing I think so shan’t upload I don’t think

Have had the call that the County Council is ‘encouraging’ schools to be back tomorrow so daughter’s a bit grumpy tho’.
