We were lucky in the South West the short winter snap didn't last and it seems that we missed the heavy snow that the east side of the UK had. With the amount of snow we had we got off quite lightly much to the disappointment of a number of children hoping to use their sledges and to get time off school! For once it didn't happen and everything didn't grind to a halt like it normally does.

It is now back to milder temperatures again with the odd glimpse of springlike sun.
