Had about 5-6 inches in Bromley today, and typically it bought Southeastern trains to a standstill  :fighting:  On the plus side the GTI doesnt need to leave the drive, although I wish it was tucked up nice and warm in a garage!   :laugh:

Wasn't too bad in Brum. Snowed today but just light snowfall.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well, woke up this morning to this...  :scared:

Patio at the bottom of our garden (table and chairs)..



Chiseled the corner of the snow off the table and measured it...  :surprised:



Fairly heavy fall over night and the good news is IT'S STILL COMING DOWN!!!  :confused:

Its just ridiculous here now. The village front street is practicaly unpassible.

Vertualy everyone who is trying to get through the village is getting stuck, fools....

I'm meant to be on night shift tonight but thats not going to happen. Thats the 4th shift in a row I've missed now :(

My front path



Village front street
