    How sad is it when the highlight of the day is when a snow plough comes up your street. What a frikking week!!!!

    Like most, Winter 2010-11 for us started overnight from Friday to Saturday. Woke up to about 6". Lots of snow on the ground too. Sorry, couldn't resist. We thought, OK, if this is it that's not too bad. But we've then had another 4 to 6"'s every night since then. We're now on our 6th day of this cr@p and we're fed up of it. Keep clearing the drive only to wake up and find another 6"'s of snow on the ground and that takes another 2 hours to clear. Seems like we've spent all week clearing our own drive, Lenore's folks drive, my own folks drive or our neighbours drive.

    Anyway, enough ranting.... Some pics for your visual entertainment. Taken on the cusp of dusk (I'm a poet and didn't even know it) so they may look a bit dark.

    Clearing my Mum and Dad's drive. It wasn't so much digging them OUT, it was more that we had to dig to get TO them. At one point I shouted across the garden to see if either of them spoke Chilean. They don't.

    Taken with my iPhone.


    This is the A6091 on Monday morning. iPhone again.


    And this is the Earlston to Greenlaw road - a bit snawwy. iPhone pic again.

    The weather system has changed so its coming from the west and I hope it brings rain. After a week of the car up the drive and yes it looks fantastic but getting bored with it now.


    like the pic all the same.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Thats the thing with this weather just now. As soon as you get the driveway cleared, get back in the house, your boots off and you get sat down.... Look out the window and all your hard work has been undone by the next fall of snow.

    I actually like the cold of winter, and I like a wee bit of snow, just to turn the fields a bit white etc, but this.... this is too much.

    I just wanna emigrate to Florida.
