I ordered something in Dover and arranged to collect it possibly the worst day of the year weatherwise….today! At the beginning of the week the forecast said it would be sunny. I intended to take Ellie to Kearsney and collect it on the way back as it was in River, right next to Kearsney.
It started snowing on the way to Dover and carried on all the time we were out. The temperature in the car went down to 0.5 degrees. Then there was a really bad accident on Jubilee Way in Dover and the Police had blocked the road off, so we sat in a jam.
Eventually we arrived at Kearsney and it wasn’t too bad in the woods and thankfully the snow wasn’t settling.
It was a shorter walk than usual, we certainly didn’t want Ellie jumping in the stream.
We continued on to the address I had been given to collect a Monsoon Jacket. I was left standing in the snow waiting for the woman to come to the door. When she did come, she told me she was very ill (and looked it) and didn’t know where it was. I told her to forget it and got back in the car. What a wasted morning and possibly the worst weather for a very long time.
Home again and wrapped Ellie in a blanket even though she doesn’t seem to bother about cold but she still has the bald patch where thy shaved her for her operation.
Traitors in the evening…interesting!
