It started to snow, but the woman thought nothing of it. <br />Soon the road home became blocked with snow.<br />As of today the woman STILL can't get home.

Does it remind you of when you were younger and we had proper winters. Snow up to the tops of your wellies, and how quickly it turned black with soot.<br />Having said that I remember the snow being shovelled into wagons and then tipped into the Tyne. One driver once forgot to remove the tailgate on his wagon....he tipped the snow in the usual way but it didn't slide off. The vehicle overbalanced and ended up in the river.

Take care and keep well.<br />I suggest for the next AGM Times Square skating rink, you will of course need leg warmers, thermals, padding and a hard hat (optional). for the faint hearted there is the centre for life coffee shop for the bold, brave and daring there is a drop in medical centre near by. I look forward to seeing you all there. On second thoughts count me out i dont suit leg warmers.
