Vinering heavily at Clent Hills 
Yup, sticking quite nicely too now Can see if it carries on, when starts to cool off about 2pm then we will get something decent again.
Though can do without the idiots who just pull out of junctions as you are approaching, they can't get traction to get going, but you have to find grip to slow down and avoid their incompetence. Time and again, and just for the record I am not barreling along.

Due to the storm a wolf has escaped from a local wolf sanctuary - Gulp!
Village over from me. I was jolly surprised when it came on the R2 news this morning!
Loads of schools on lockdown, yet the wolf apparently walked through a field of sheep at one point. He was coaxed back by staff from the sanctuary. He managed 8 miles!
When they are introduced to the visitors they give them a once over to check them out. This sometimes involves standing up with their front paws on your shoulders to check your breath, nose to nose!
The people there say that it is very rare for the wolves to take a dislike to a visitor, but there have been occasions when a person for some reason caused the wolves distress, and they had to be escorted out of the enclosure, with the rest of the party crowded tightly round them.
8 miles isn't bad at all! That's one of my walking routes.
There is a pack of 8-10 semi-wild wolves living along the Shropshire-Wales border. Amazing to hear them howling at night.
Given domestic dogs kill 5000-15000 sheep and 2-5 humans and injure 1000-3000 people every year, it's surprising that so many people are petrified of wolves. They don't do anywhere near that kind of damage in countries where wolves are more widespread. They really should re-wild wolves in the UK.
This simply isn't good enough, I request proper snow!Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
