  • Glad he made it in the end Fay - but 30 hours?! :eek:

    My trip home today was a touch easier - no real problems until I got to the roundabout 2 miles from home when it was sooooo icy everyone was just going sideways as soon as they tried to turn round it! There is a burst water main up the way too which was still gushing out as I came back so that will be fun in the morning! :rolleyes: Still plenty of snow lying hereabouts too - we haven;t reached the slushy stage yet!
