Very weird today. The snow is affecting many places even though there has been plenty of notice that it was going to happen. My grand daughter who should be here now couldn't even get to the station this morning up in the freezing North. She will try again after Christmas!
Here in St Mawes it is clear. A bit of early morning crunch disappeared quickly and we've been in and out of the village a couple of times, the shops are doing good trade and the sun was out. The man who opens up St Just church arrived to say he hadn't opened it today it was too icy but then the cleaner rang to say there were several people trying to get in and should she open it up? Well of course! Apparently the intrepid souls were walking the cliff path so they were able to get hot drinks and choccy biscuits as well!
My husband is on locking up duty and he will bring back further reports.
In the next village my son reports that the very steep main road is treacherous and any attempt to get up or down it would result in an unplanned tumble into the sea.
As I am doing Mass there in the morning I am now slightly worried has to how best to get there.
The incumbent here was fairly laid back when I spoke to him this morning,
"One thing at a time" he said and he's right. No point in agonising about it till it happens.
But why do we keep letting it happen?
In North Wales if we'd stayed in every time it snowed we would never have gone anywhere. I do miss my Discovery on these occasions. Those big wheels could cope with anything! The little Beetles not quite so rugged...

I have to agree. I miss my Army life when I could jump into a Landrover to cope with the weather. Now, retired, my poor little Suzuki does well on most roads and is even good in snow, front wheel drive, but can't really cope with deep snow.
