So, we had some snow. It was pretty cool (no pun intended). We tend to not get a lot of snow down here. And when it does, it’s usually pathetic. So getting sent home from work and being (almost) trapped inside the house was fun for a few days.

And I got to take a load of photos of the snow.

Despite being sent home from work, I did still have to work. It’s one of the draw backs of being given a laptop. So although you get to work from home occasionally, you also don’t get snow days. So rather than going to have fun in the snow, I had to stay inside. 🙁

Having gone back to work, I suddenly realised something. It turns out this was our 5th Anniversary, and I had completely forgotten. Whoops. Usually we got out for something to eat or get takeaway on a special day. So Kate wanted to order some Chinese. I was not convinced that they would deliver, when the police were telling everyone not to go out on the roads. Kate then decided that we should walk over to the takeaway, but I was still not convinced that a) it would even be open, and b) we’d get back in time after trudging through he snow, before the food had all gone cold.
I managed to convince Kate to go to the local pub, which according to their Facebook page, was still open despite all of the snow.

But it turns out the pub was lying, so when we got there it was closed.

We popped into the Sainsbury’s next door to grab a few bits to cook at home. Had we realised how long it was going to take the shops to get milk, bread and other essentials back in, we would have bought them there and then. But we didn’t know how useless everyone becomes because of a little snow.

We went home and snuggled up in the warm as it continued to snow overnight.

The next day, it had stopped snowing, but we’d had something else I’d not experienced before; freezing rain.

Sadly I had to go back to work, so didn’t get to enjoy the snow any more.
