A Long Journey Home

Conor made it home to us after a very long trip. He hired a car to get him back from the airport but got stuck in the snow about 3 miles from home and by this time it was 4am. I called to get him some recovery and by 9 am they hadn't arrived but a passing tractor helped him out. He then got stuck again half a mile away so walked the rest of the way and the recovery 4x4 originally booked, arrived at 11am so we then walked back down to the car. The hire car had to be left in the next village as we couldn't get it to ours!

Today we had a walk up to the next village to get some milk and check on the car and we were very pleased to see tarmac through the snow for the first time in a week! We decided to attempt to drive into Grimsby in the car to get a few supplies from Tesco. The main roads are not too bad at all but the B roads do still have quite a lot of snow on them.

We are still hoping to move on Monday  but we need to dig the van out tomorrow as it is still abandoned outside our gate which is where the removal vehicle will need to go. I guess we are now just going to have to wait and see how thing go over the next 24 hours or so and hope for the rain we have been forecast as well as a bit of a thaw.

Megan seems to have an enjoyable afternoon, she has just been sat glued to Ice Age, she really seems to like all of the Ice Age films and doesn't move when they are on!
