TBird ,I recognise your description of the snow in Leeds .On one really bad day I finished work and went to the bus station to catch my usual bus .It had been cancelled. We lived near the highest point in Leeds and my usual bus had stopped running in the early afternoon. I went and waited for a bus  that went a longer way round but usually gets you home if a little late . I hadn’t been at the stop long when my mother turned up .She had been to visit my grandma and was running late because of the snow.By the time the bus came , the snow was driving and nearly horizontal. The driver said that he would do his best to get as far as he could .He was driving through thick snow and visibility was bad . Eventually he gave up . He had driven about three miles .When we got off the bus we were at the bottom of Kirkstall Hill .The walk home was a mile up the hill then two miles on the flat then another  mile up hill followed by a very steep walk down another hill which was half a mile long .The snow was deep ,just below our knees . It was a case of putting one foot into the snow in front then dragging the back foot out of the snow and putting that in front . The walk down hill was bad . The snow was driving into our faces .Eventually we arrived home at ten thirty exhausted wet through and very cold .We both had a hot bath and lots of tea . I should have been at work the following day but I slept until lunch time and so did my mother .Sorry that the saga is so long My mum was fine but I developed a nasty cold .
@Songbird-1 we were only discussing the weekly round of applause at the weekend. I quite enjoyed doing the clap last time round. It was good to have a wave at the neighbours. A house near us had a singer who would sing for about half an hour on a big speaker after the clap and just before a van used to drive round beeping his horn to remind us to go onto our doorstep. It was lovely. Was quite sad when it all stoppedÂ
I inadvertently went for a run in the early weeks of the clap @PurpleRose. I did wonder why everyone was on their doorstep encouraging me up the hill to our house. I bet they thought it a bit odd when I was waving and celebrating like I'd just won olympic gold
Hi Topbird yes the children have accepted the changes very well, but do need a little reminder about keeping a safe distance from one another 😊, Rubee Sounds like a harrowing journey home and it is still so fresh in your mind, it shows how traumatic that experience was for you. Ante lovely Christmas tree it looks perfect, glad you had a nice time at the cottage, LB A good job accomplished today, thank you for the quiz though it’s making me feel hungry 😋 1. Welsh rarebit 2. Chelsea Bun 3. Cornish Pasty 5. Yorkshire pudding 6. Dundee Cske 8. Lancashire hotpot 10. Bakewell tart 11. Cumberland Sausage 15. Eccles cake

If other people enjoy it though fair play to them!
