I was meant to be going back to Norwich today but don't think I will risk the journey! Thought I'd have some fun here instead...




He kept trying to eat his nose!

And a couple from a walk this morning...

My Director was going to our office in France, but has been stuck in Folkestone for over 2 hours now waiting to board the train!

He's said that if the weather gets too bad, to go home!! Play time this afternoon

Wouldn't leave it much longer before heading home, Steve. We've had about another inch of snowfall in the past half hour here, and it's due to continue.

Got to work eventually this morning but a large number of people who live closer to the factory than I do had been "snowed in"
We got sent home at 1 anyway as the bus company who run our works service want all their buses off the road by 3pm so we all get sent home

Focarse is hysterically funny in the snow, it really is useless, especially with the traction control off
Handbrake works well though.
