No one could complain about life being dull.
Last nights concert was cancelled. The meal we had booked prior to going still looked possible but when we got there no food was available...the electricity had been off for hours.
We found a pub still serving food well,out of the village..the scenes of piled up snow along the route were amazing.
Here most of the snow has gone...we clearly got off lighter than most.
My electricity went off somewhere round midnight but as I was already in bed I just closed my eyes and hoped it would all be alright ....eventually.
At some point a voice announced " There is no mains electricity in the house."
I am not sure who said it but about ten minutes later it came back on again!
None of this is in anyway dangerous...or even uncomfortable. It’s just weird.
Today is looking quiet...so far....
I have enough food to last till Monday when hopefully the Tesco delivery will finally get through...
The house is warm. The snow outside has shrunk to dirty white borders...the world seems to be slowly going back to normal. Fingers and everything else crossed..
But the Roseland will never again take for granted the absence of snow....we have experienced it and survived .
Thank you God.

Here the snow has disappeared, and we have not had any local power cuts, so we thank God for that. For a time it was a bit dodgy, but I was able to drive to Church slowly and carefully and keep it open daily for people passing by. We had no buss service or post for three days and our bins remain uncollected, although they are working today to clear the backlog.
We survived in comfort. If we need anything, 100 yards down the street is a Spar shop, which seems to get its supplies, whatever the weather. So I thank God that we live in an Urban village, and pray for those, particularly in those rural areas cut off, having to poor thousands of litres of milk away as it isn't collected and those without power, particularly in the South West and Wales cut off by huge drifts, with sometime to go before they obtain relief.
Also praying for those who worked through the worst of it and are still working in our NHS, Emergency Services and the Utility company engineers dealing with broken systems.
