Re: Snow - does it happen to you?
One thing I will say about snow is that I love the enforced solitude. Over the road my neighbour Mrs Anubis Evans is simply too cold to stand on her doorstep and bitch about me to passers by, and the snow puts Mr Sarcophagus-Jones (who lives never door to her) on speaking terms again with his son because he needs him to shovel the snow from his steps. I do feel a bit sorry for Mog the Brick who has been crying a lot because his newly built wall has a big crack in it from the frost but then again the outside of my house looks as though it's been crazy paved with all the cracks in the rendering this year....
Barney, my St Bernard, is still guarding the fridge in the kitchen. He has been doing this since just before the snow fell - I think he knew it was coming and wanted to make sure the food supply was safe.
My other two dogs, both Basset Hounds don't like the deep snow because they have very short legs.
Apart from that, Mr Penry has done sterling work keeping us in dog food and Cornish pasties. Living on the side of a mountain isn't funny in this weather. You can get to the bottom in about five seconds.... it's climbing up again that's a bugger....
