SNOW!

5th Jan, Hey, guess what??? We have snow!!!!!!!! When we arrived here in 2005 we were told ‘it doesn’t snow here – it hasn’t snowed here in the last 15 years’ Well it snowed winter 2005, winter 2006 and again winter 2008 ( I am counting today as part of winter 2008) So our oldest child who gets a school bus home got stuck and we had to go and get him with some friends who have a Landrover. The snow isn’t soooo deep, we could have driven in our car, the problem is the French who don’t know how to drive in it. We have seen many skid marks in the snow and many vehicles who have gone off the edge.

We have had the phone call tonight which said there will be no school bus tomorrow, so lucky child gets a day off school, but also helps to move 3 cubic metres of cut wood into the logshed.

The animals are not happy about the snow. Tonight at bedtime all were standing at the doors of their various sheds muttering quietly, all except the sheep who are oblivious to almost everything.

Tomorrow will hopefully bring a day with brilliant photo opportunity.
