Hello folks yes its me your favourite doggy again. Thought we'd got rid of the white stuff but it returned with a vengeance on Thursday. First Grandad had gone to York on what was forecast to be a reasonable day but it started snowing late morning...........and didn't stop. He cut short his visit and only just made it up Garrowby Hill on the way back having met an articulated lorry reversing down the hill which was closed almost immediately afterwards. Grandad did make it home but Katy and Paul ran into serious problems. ALL the routes into Driffield were blocked. Cut off you might say. Seems funny to me. You can fly to the moon but a bit of snow and.............The picture shows slow moving traffic on the wolds earlier this evening. Katy and Paul finally made it home at 10.30pm. Over 150 cars stuck in the Yorkshire Wolds !!
Yes back to the canal this morning, thats twice in recent days. Very frosty and the ground is very hard but a good walk from Whin Hill back home - about two miles. Came across one man bird watching. He said not much was happening though he had seen a Kestrel, Cormorant and a Heron amongst lots of other smaller birds. Plenty to see if you know what you are looking for. Nanna and Grandad off to see "Valkyrie" this afternoon and they might call in to Pizza Express for dinner. Sounds ok to me.
Dawn's Starstruck Theatre Acadamy put on a "Chinese Night" yesterday to celebrate their forthcoming production of Disney's "Mulan" at Easter. A lot of the children dressed as chinese as did some of the adults !! It also gave Starstruck a chance to present their donations to two charities including Marie Curie Cancer Care and you can see Nanna in the big picture receiving a big cheque and the donation of £125.00. There was prawn crackers and some chinese food. Grandad contributed a quiz and a good night was had by all.
