There's a fab hill here at the top of our lane....about 250 yards from the house. If it snows, they will come...lol. It's so funny sitting and looking down from the bedroom window to see people slide about the roads in shiney new cars and get a piece of bubble wrap out of the boot to go up on the hill...lol.

This is probably the best hill this side of Bristol for sledding!

If it snows, I will be at your house within 7 hours and I WILL be sledging until it melts. Just a prior warning. Too close to the coast here so don't get snow often

I *think* I nearly got punted up the backside by a van yesterday on the way home. The lights abruptly changed just as our 'pack' of traffic was coming up on them. It's a 40mph limit and I know there's a red light camera there so I came to a swift but controlled stop, and I don't think the van expected that and slammed on his anchors and was preparing to swerve around me to avoid hitting me. Because he was at a funny angle behind me!

Bike is tucked away again, too many nutters not driving to the wet and cold conditions I think!

Agree with that .... Friday nights are aways the worst rides home ... people are always rushing, and in too good a mood to care about actually driving ..... it seems people think on a Friday evening 'Yeah, its the weekend, and tonight nothing could possibly go wrong'

Anyway, last night was probably the worst ride home I've had in ages ... people not looking, not driving to the conditions, just pulling out willy nilly, and bloody taxi drivers sitting an inch off my **** racing to the next fare

Its not like me to moan .... so rant over
