hilda-and-evadne Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Had the lads round last night for a game of cards! Egluntine, the Daily Mail has used your pic - scroll down page - did you know? Can't see any picture credit to you. On edit: my bad.

MedusA Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Rutland Water is just up the road from me and it's been really bad. No wonder the sailing event is off. The photos I posted earlier here were taken there this morning. Just out of interest, when I was about 10/11 I used to live in Edith Weston and our garden backed on to fields which are now Rutland Water! The "museum" used to be a mausoleum in the middle of fields I used to cycle past. OH and I went there for a couple of days last summer, so I could wander down memory lane and we could do the circuit on hired bikes. We had a great time and had lunch in a lovely little pub about half way round. Perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive through Edith Weston each day on my way to work at Empingham, well I do when the school is open and not closed due to snow Some days Rutland Water looks so beautiful I wish I could stop rather than go to work We moved to Rutland in 1991 so the Water has always been there although a friend helped to dig it out and has shown me photos of it before the Water Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Far less snow up north, and Banbury is still the same, it hasn't melted much at all - 4" or so on the lawn, and loads of ice on the side roads and paths. I have a shovel and bits of carpet in the back of the van, and had to dig some ice away from under the wheels when i drove over to Rosie's Dad to pick Ruby up. The sun has gone in here now and it's getting colder; I wouldn;'t be at all surprised to see snow again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Can you keep it down there this time please - we still have far far too much up here and we are not selfish at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 We were snowed in on Thurs and Fri, no one in a normal car could get out of the village, we got out yesterday and managed to do some shopping (at petrol stations as the Tesco car park was packed and tretcherous!) but are stuck in again today because of the ice on the roads where the cars slushed it up yesterday I feel like I live in the middle of nowhere instead of half a mile from a main road! The snow isn't melting - we have tons of the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 When it gets like that here I take a sledge to carry the shopping and walk to the supermarket a couple of miles away. It's quite an adventure trudging through the snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite an adventure trudging through the snow We trudged through the snow to get to the pub - does that count? Unfortunately when you do get to the main road there is nothing but the pub there! the nearest shop is a few miles further on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
