"OUR FIRST WINTER "

DEC 20TH

It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the first we've see
for years the wife and I took out our hot toddies and sat on the porch
watching the fluffy soft flakes drift gently down clinging to the trees and
covering the ground. It's so beautiful and peaceful.

DEC 24th


We awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white glistening snow covering as
far as the eye could see. What a fantastic sight, every tree and bush
covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shovelled snow for the first time
ever and loved it. I did both our driveway and the pavement. Later
that day a snowplough came along and accidentally covered
up our driveway with> compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled
and waved. I waved back and shovelled it away again. The children next
door built a snowman with coal for eyes and a carrot for a nose, and had a
snowball fight, a couple just missed me and hit the car so I threw a couple back and joined in their fun.

DEC 26th
It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature dropped to around minus 8 degrees. Several branches on our trees and bushes snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled our driveway again
Shortly afterwards the snowplough came by and did his trick again.
Much of the snow is now a brownish-grey.

JAN 1st
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which soon became ice when the temperature dropped again. Bought snow tyres for both our cars. Fell on my arse in the driveway. Went to a physio but nothing was broken.

JAN 5th

Still cold. Sold the wife's car and bought her a4x4 to get her to work. She slid into a wall and did considerable damage to the right wing. Had another 8 inches of white ****e last night. Both vehicles are covered in salt and iced up slush that bastard snowplough came by twice today. Where's that bloody shovel

JAN 9th
More b***** snow. Not a tree or bush on our property that hasn't been damaged.

Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and a paraffin heater which tipped over and nearly torched the house. I managed to put the flames out but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands. Lost all my eye brows and eyelashes. Car hit a ******* deer on the way to casualty and was written off.

JAN 13th

******* b*****d white ****e just keeps on coming down. Have to put on every article of clothing just to go to the post box. The little **** next door ambushed me with snowballs on the way back I'll shove that carrot so far up their arse it'll take a good surgeon hours to find it If I ever catch the arsehole that drives the snowplough I'll chew open chest and and rip out his heart with my teeth. I think the b******d hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shovelling and then he accelerates down the street like Michael *******
Schumacher and buries the b***** driveway again.

JAN 17th

16 more sodding inches of ***** snow and ***** ice and ***** sleet and god knows what other white ****e fell last night. I am in court in 3 months time for assaulting the snowplough driver with an ice-pick. Can't move my toes. Haven't seen the sun for 5
weeks. Minus 20 and more *****ng snow forecast.


I'M MOVING BACK TO LONDON
