Jen's school is closed today ( can you hear those teenagers cheering?) as there has been 20 cm of snow over the weekend, plus another fall of 10cm last night and it is still snowing. D and our neighbours cleared our little side road yesterday but it is covered again and although the snow ploughs are clearing the main roads they won't clear this till last.
But my main concerns are
a) how will my parents get up here safely at the weekend to look after Jen? My Dad is 80 and determined to drive the 120 mile journey from Durham (stubbornness must be genetic!)and
b) how will we get to Glasgow airport on Sunday to fly to Madeira? I need some sunshine!
The forecast does suggest that there will be a thaw towards the weekend (yay!) and even today Glasgow airport is working normally, even though Edinburgh airport is closed. I will be monitoring it very carefully!
Still working away on Karin my summer weight cardi (which is really weird considering the view of my garden) I'm onto the first sleeve now. I really want to be making something aran weight though, so that I would be warm underneath my knitting!

Safety and travel concerns aside, it's awfully nice to get away somewhere sunny when it's so cold at home.
Oh we'll have the snow soon enough. You need a warm weather break. :
Wowser.
I hope I complete my ruana before the know hits the Great Lakes
It will all be over by the weekend
