345/365 Snow!

After having a really mild winter, it's all hit us in one go here in the UK! We choose Saturday as the day to go and visit some wonderful friends "Up North" in Cheshire, and while we had some snow flurries on the way up it only took us 2.5 hours, which is pretty good going, the way back however took 5.5 hours and we stopped counting car accidents and abandoned cars once we got up to about 15! Shocking! None of them were bad though thank goodness, mostly they were people just feeling unable to continue driving, and ditching their cars on the hard shoulder of the motorway! One thing I will say about the boyfriends car obsession is that it means in times like this having a high powered, performance tyred, 4 wheel drived car makes ALL the difference. Plus he is an exceptional driver, and no matter how bad the conditions are (and other drivers!) I have total faith in him :) We finally got in at 4:15am this morning, I don't think I will be doing much AT ALL today!
