Snow!!

This week has seen the heaviest snowfall I can remember -  I was 8 years old in 1963 so in theory should be able to remember it but certainly don't have any memory of snow higher than my boots, as it is here at present!

It started last Friday night -  by Saturday morning there was 2-3 inches,  and I was due to do a stall at the Methodist Church in Retford; luckily I did get there and back safely,  also to Friesthorpe for another event on Sunday.  Then all through Monday & Tuesday we had another 10 inches at least - Tuesday morning was unbelievable as far as getting out to the cattery was concerned.  The stud boys are thankfully very snug and warm,  in fact they're better off than we are!  There hasn't been another heavy fall since Tuesday but a few showers,  and of course the temperature has not gone above freezing so nothing has thawed at all.

I was intending to go to the Burmese Cat Society Show tomorrow but travelling would be far too risky and the roads are predicted to be very treacherous.  Other shows had been cancelled earlier in the week.  Thank goodness our trip to London was last week!  

We've had no mail or other deliveries since Monday - I'm waiting on a delivery of raw meat for the cats,  and various other bits and bobs,  goodness knows when anything will get through.  Luckily we do have enough food to last a while!
