Snowing

The first snow of the winter actually lying in the garden this morning.

It happened to coincide with The Man's Union Christmas do over in West Cumbria. The roads were clear here when we set off tonight but were quite snowy between Lamplugh and Frizington. I always offer to drive but decided to take the longer route home via Whitehaven to avoid the slushy back roads.

The roads as we set off back were clear but, as we neared home, it began to snow heavily. I remember blipping the same journey home last year, we knew it would be bad so I escaped driving duties then!

I have set up a tradition, each Christmas, of giving me girls a bauble for the tree. I'm using this one today to mark the snowy day and I've edited it to remind me of the snowy journey tonight!
