.... started at 05:10 on Thursday with me trying to drive to Coventry, and
ended half an hour ago when I managed to sit down and upload this,

In between has seen me spending a lot of time and effort struggling with the
elements. It seems Wensleydale (where I live) caught the heaviest of
Thursdays snowfall, thankfully it was not accompanied by the high winds that
were forecasted. As it is I have several shrubs bent and broken by the
weight of snow, and a couple of large boughs brought down as well.

Much of the garden is still under 4 inches of snow even after two days of
thaw, thank heavens for the snow blower.
