She made it too and from work no problem, and back in this morning... Just had a phone call from her, "Darling I've just popped out on a visit and someone has pinched the wheel trims off my car". "That's interesting" I replied, "I took the alloys off yesterday and put the steel snow wheels on, they don't have wheel trims...." "Oh" she replies, "I did wonder why that car nearly ran into the back of me on the hill this morning....!"
My wife's German relatives who live out in the hills all have a second set of winter wheels & tyres its a good idea, although I wouldn't get any use out of mine.

After yesterdays blizzard drive to Ipswich, the main roads were fine on my return today, just the side roads & my drive are dicey. But I'll get the grit out tomorrow morning and do the road behind my house, making it easier for everyone.
