Yes, you have, both times

The view out of the back of the house after just 10 minutes of snow.

Then another 10 minutes later - blue skies again: -

The view out of the front needs a video to do it justice - we are on a hill & to say that some drivers are having a little difficulty is an understatement. I'm just hoping nobody skids sideways into the van. Another few minutes of traffic up & down & they'll be back down to the tarmac, which should improve things until the next shower drops.

I won't bore you with another picture, but since I took that second one, the sky has cleared completely - just a few pinkish wisps reflecting the setting sun.

We also had some heavy dandruff last night.
Took me 2 hours to dig out to the road. Over 18 inches in places.

Thanks Debs - pleased I managed.

Practise makes perfect......

Don't know if this should be in the "what are you having for dinner" thread or photo of the day!

Have had a longing for a hot whiskey this evening and here are the ingredients ready for the kettle to boil!

Now that looks like my sort of paradise!
The main think I miss, since we migrated south, is the 'real' snow - you're making me jealous.

The Costa del Sol was formerly known as the Costa del Viento - the windy coast before it was renamed in the 60's for touristic marketing purposes.

As someone who imigrated doon sooth I disagree not having wet slush, snow etc is IMHO much better than freezing ones goolies off

I think a lot of goolies were being frozen when we stopped at Gretna on the way home........bitterly cold it was
But beautiful sunny day back home in D & G ........ still bitterly cold, but not a lot of snow left. Got my washing out on the drier

It really was a beautiful snowy scene when we took these photos at Pools Brook CC the other day

Thank you, we got home safely last night.......no problems on the roads, the A66 had been cleared and was well-gritted thankfully. There were some beautiful scenes across towards the Lakes.......we should have stopped for a photo session......but just wanted to get back

We had a great trip, we left home on the 26th November, stayed a few nights at the Knaresborough CC site then on to Chatsworth CC for another couple of nights. We were amazed we could get in to Chatsworth as it's nearly always fully booked.
From there we headed down to Littlehampton CC and visted family in Southsea and Denmead.

We spent Christmas at the Brighton CC and then had to move back to Littlehampton as Brighton was full over the New Year. They also had an electrical problem from the 30th and 31st December.......the reason we heard was down to people "over-loading" with normal domestic kettles rather than low wattage ones

The CC site at Littlehampton closed on 5th January, so we got thrown out of there and then headed back to Brighton CC We were at Brighton till 25th January and then headed up to get the water pump replaced at Oaktree, near Nottingham. We had booked into Pools Brook CC site (where we took the photos) as it was close enough for Oaktree. The M1 around there was a nightmare.....it took us about an
hour and a half to travel 24 miles.

We spent 9 weeks in the van and we're still talking to each other........only just

Margaret & Bill
