UNDER SIEGE

Well, as I predicted; no work for Duncan today, and no school for the kids. School closed, as was post office and most shops/cafes in Neapoli.

The kids got Duncan to take them to the park in the village; where they and some school friends ambushed him with snowballs. Sob! Poor old me had to stay warm and dry inside with Dom (ha ha! It really was too cold to take him out, though we took him into the garden briefly and let him feel the snow. He was quite under whelmed by it actually; 'yesssss, what is it you are actually so excited about mum?'

Later on, I did get all bundled up and took Ella & Theo for a walk down to Limnes (neighbouring village) to see mum who has been snowed in for 2 days! Of course, it began to snowstorm when we were half way there! But had nice hot drinks at mums and dried out before the return. Duncan had good old sausages and mash waiting (bless him) and we are now in for the night.

It is continuing to snow on and off but I think the roads are now clear enough for normal life to resume tommorow - Ella is not very impressed!!

Hope you are all well?
