We are not quite snowed in, but as near as dammit. The village kids are tobboganing up and down the street outside the window, and things are very wintry.We had a pipe burst, and Graham (with Shosh and Gavin riding shotgun) just about managed to get into Bideford yesterday lunchtime. I doubt if they would manage it today.
On top of it all, our broadband is intermittent (probably something else to do with the weather), and there is a problem with the emails at my ISP. So our communication abilities are a bit iffy today.
So, if you have sent us an email in recent days and are champing at the bit waiting for a reply, don't be too surprised if you don't get one.
The photographs, by the way, are by Shosh McCarthy intrepid girl photo-journalist.
They were taken on the mission to Bideford yesterday in search of plumbing fixtures and I particularly like the middle one where the truck is trying desperately to reverse up the
hill, but is slipping down towards a melange of other stranded vehicles at the bottom of the hill. It is times like this that I am particularly pleased that I inherited a 4x4 from my late father....

Looks like my drive yesterday, it was very bad. The interstate wasn't even cleared or treated, and it was snowing like it had to.
The internet here actually gets better when it gets cold. During the summer months, we have regular outages.
