This weather is becoming tiresome. It is disrupting my days and forcing me to change plans. It seems that Omnia vincit nix. When I got back to the Towers last night I told Clarence to call the Met Office and complain. It obviously had no effect, or they were just being cussed as today we have further snowfalls. Indeed things are so bad that the traffic of people from Wales into England has been halted ostensibly for safety reasons (though I do wonder if there's more to it than that).

Back at The Towers both Fellows and Osborne have been out with the snow ploughs and have done a sterling job of keeping the Estate roads clear (must tell them to get a cup of hot chocolate from Dawkins when they finish).
