Thank goodness she got home ok Jane ,has she got some where she can stay if the trains don't run ?i should imagine the hotels are all full.
I think we have been really lucky this way when you see all the problems on the news .

Mandy ,Hannah said it was BEDLAM at St Pancras.Bit like a Rock Concert with everyone trying to get on the platform to get whatever train heading the right way lol.She got the Right one.!!!!!.People were asking does this train stop at such and such a place??.All she knew was it was going to KETTERING lol.

NO FRANK WILL WAIT UNTILL WEEKEND MAYBE HAVE SOME TIME TO MYSELF AND MAKE --BBP--WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW I DO XXX


UP-DATE SNOW HAS TURND TO RAIN AGAIN----
TIME 3.14 PM

Ohhhhh Shirl, brace yourself and batten down the hatches. You could be building a snowman tomorrow!!

I love semolina.....especially made with evaporated milk. A nice cold weather pudding. I like it set as a cold pudding with sliced pears in it too.OH would join you with the bread and butter pudding Frank, but right now I could eat a nice treacle sponge with custard.

Edwardian Farm tonight. We watched the Turn Back Time programme last night....the 60s this week. I said to OH that the supermarket wire baskets hadn't changed since then. I remember mum having a bit of a beehive hairdo, but I was into long wavy hair with a bit of backcombing at the back of the top. A parting down the middle and sellotape to hold the 2 sides close to my face while it dried. I can just smell that nice creamy Lin-co-lin beer shampoo.

TIME 2.18 PM---SOS SOS--SOS-------

NEW'S ---JUST STARTED TO SNOW HERE COMMING DOWN HARD
LARGE FLAKES-- STILL MAY NOT STAY XXXXXX

Jane, Semolina is nice not so keen on the Tapioca (Frogs Spawn )
Has Hannah had any problems with the train today ?

Well Shirley ,i think some places will soon have that wall of snow !! there's talk of a lot more to come !!

Evening All,

We seem to have been lucky around here. It's been snowing most of the day, but only about an inch has settled. Still icy up the close, but traffic has cleared the main roads. I am supposed to be going to see my friends new foal and her other ponies tomorrow. The lane they are down is even called Snow Lane. lol She e-mailed me this morning to say DON'T even try to get my car down the lane.....only fit for 4x4s. It is down a steepish hill, only wide enough for 1 vehicle and has tight bends. If I slid by the small gap near the bottom where she has 2 parking spaces I would go straight into the ford across the brook!!! We may meet up at the pub in the village instead and walk down or she will drive me down. We are seeing how much more white stuff comes down before the morning.

We had a BOGOF turkey lunch at Sain*burys today.....very nice and under £8 for the 2 of us. Stayed in since......really appreciate not having to go to work in this weather anymore.

KEEP YOUR FINGER'S CROSSED YOU DON'T GET CANADIAN WEATHER----A BLIZZARD IN 70'S WE HAD 60 CM SNOW WITH DRIFTS AS HIGH AS A BUS & COLDDDD-----

Shirl,Yes we had a letter looking for people in this area who would be interested in doing 'Come Dine With Me'.I love the programme.It is on every day at 5pm.I am afraid I am not brave enough to take part lol.I think Chester would put people off ,let alone my cooking !!!!

Has the snow kept people away from the shop ?or have you had more trade with people not getting to the super markets ?
