But there is something marvellous about lots of snow. When I was a child in Germany we used to get so cold, yet winter was always my favourite season because the snow transformed the rather ugly little town into a wonderful place.

No wonder I drink!<br /><br />Lynn: if I could reach the airport I'd be on the next plane. But David's car hasn't made it home since the middle of December (he drives a Ford Focus, which is a smallish saloon car) and my car, a Land Rover Discovery, can only get to within about half a mile of the house and David's using it to get to work. So I have no transport. I could call a cab, I suppose, but...!<br /><br />As for the rest of you: yes. This is a lovely place to live for most of the year but right now that doesn't quite compensate. It's lucky I have a short memory.<br /><br />I took a couple of photos today which demonstrate the depth of some of our snowdrifts. I can't get near the bigger ones, they're too dangerous: but if I have time I might post them in a bit. Watch out for them, and prepare to feel even MORE sorry for me.Jane Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411253302725735470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-60347695533584117072010-01-11T19:01:46.251+00:002010-01-11T19:01:46.251+00:00Hi, I've been following you on Twitter but cam...Hi, I've been following you on Twitter but came across your blog yesterday (via Nicola's blog party). <br /><br />Have been wondering where you live that is so remote and it's lovely to see these pictures.

The other day a local driving a Discovery down a one-in-three road that never gets gritted had a lucky escape when it slid off a hairpin bend, bounced over a couple of snow-buried walls and ended upright on the lane lower down.Sally Zigmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520579251842006765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-46618284625117811512010-01-11T12:35:39.801+00:002010-01-11T12:35:39.801+00:00As much as I hate snow, that's all very pretty...As much as I hate snow, that's all very pretty... love your wind turbine!
