The rare British snowy landscape has been and gone, lasting only 2.5 days. These two days were enough to cause chaos for everyone except schoolchildren, who relish the possibility of a day off school with the chance to make snowmen and throw snowballs at anyone within range.

It’s a funny situation that the British spend so much time talking about it yet whenever any real weather with any oomph comes to this fair isle, we have no idea what to do and descend into a state of national panic and general flapping about! At least it gives us the opportunity to do what we are best at. Talking even more about the weather. On Thursday, Great Britain set a new world record for the most utterings of the word “snow” – smashing the old record with a staggering 100 billion* mentions of the word in a 24 hour period.

* – this is an approximate figure. I lost count at 12 and estimated the final figure.

I said goodbye to another house this week, the second in a 7 day period. This time it was the family home, lived in for an impressive 25+ years and where most of my childhood years were spent.

The snowfall did allow for some decent parting shots of the house, to remember it by.

Goodbye house, we’ll miss you!

One last look back before leaving:
