Oh great, a light dusting of icing sugar for two hours and the entire UK will grind to a halt (as usual).

All ready had some just north of Bern (snow line was 200m!). Ski season started yesterday here too. Roll on November. Only 1 hour from a whole host of resorts. I knew moving to Switzerland was a good idea

I drove up to Fort William last week, and there was already some snow on high ground.

Yay! Snow and my RWD beast is going to be ace.

But it does hurt when I fall off my push bike.

That's not exactly true. I know our town grinds to a halt at the first sign of the white stuff!! Why?I have no idea.

Coincidentaly, I was in Fort Wiliam on Wednesday on my way back from Invermoriston.

frown re: doggy

I bought a 4x4 for the snow and since then one day, at easter, is all I got!

Ok so it is the smallest 4x4 in the world but still...
