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.

Why didn't you use the Defender?
You surely would not have had a problem with the drive with that (except
for
everyone else).


What would be the fun in that ? :~)

Spot on, I use the Land Rover (its not a Defender by the way its a Rang
Rover/Army Lightweight hybrid I built myself) for having fun elsewhere. I
also belong to a group of 4x4 owners that offer support to the emergency
services in bad weather etc.

We often have paying guests here and they don't often drive 4X4s but do
expect to be able to get out at the end of their week. There are also the
odd ones we can't wait to see the back of, don't want them snowed in :-)
