barring a miracle - based on the weather forecast that's us for Christmas.

It's snowing again here and they are promising down to minus 12 here. More poss snow Wed/Thurs and freezing temperatures.

Might possibly do a couple of days between Christmas and New Year - we'll see

It's a hot +0.1 here!  But van is in for MOT tomoz, and had to drain the tank as they won't lift it on their platform otherwise.

Leaves possible Weds or Thursday I reckon.

i Have written this week off . Nearly a foot of snow lying on the cotswolds today and more forecast later. I have done pretty well so far this winter with only a couple of late starts and early finishes due to the weather . So 2 weeks off it is then .
 Only prioblem is i gotta drive the family to suffolk (200 miles) before christmas day . not worried about ourselves as i have a 4x4 its the other idiots out there
   Merry christmas all
