FRIENDS TOGETHER

Over the past couple of days, we`ve had over a foot of snow here in deepest Kent, so this morning we took Barney (left) and his mate Max up to the nearby woods for a romp in the snow.   It was a magical time to be out in the fresh air, trudging through the deep snow but enjoying every minute of it.   Barney and Max loved it too and Max did especially well given that he`s all of ten years old now, but still going strong.

I spent some time clearing snow off the drive but it was a bit of a waste of time - it`s still snowing now!  It`s the worst early snowfall for 50 years and traffic chaos reigns with roads, airports and trains all affected.   I just wonder why it is that other countries who have far worse conditions to contend with than we do, seem to manage perfectly well.  Maybe we`re just not geared up for it, maybe to do so would be just too expensive.   Or maybe, just maybe, we actually enjoy a bit of a crisis so we can have a good moan.
