It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.  Yesterday, the drive from Gloucester was wonderful as the strong westerly cleared the air giving the country side a special quality.
One SUV had loaded a heap of snow onto the roof rack, probably from Barrington.  Just as well Barrington was not on our agenda as  National Parks had closed the road into the park as well as the road to Scone due to snow incidents. As well Thunderbolts Way was closed due to ice etc.
The road surface round Gloucester has been given a caning and is no way smooth at all.
