Just got ome from work - it took 4 hours for a normal half hour journey! Trouble was that they decided to shut the schools at midday!   The whole of Swansea was gridlocked with parents trying to pick up their children. It was bedlam.

Are we teaching our children to give up and go home at the first sign of bad weather? What a wonderful life lesson for them. Or perhaps it's the litigation culture that we now seem to live in that rules!

Once onto the wilds of Gower the journey was far easier. Tractors had cleared a path through the roads and there were farmers giving a helping hand on steep hills. I'm now listening to people sledging on Rhosilli Down. As we're on a penninsular snow is quite rare here - the views are stunning....grrrrrr.....and the batteries have run out in my camera!!!!
