Snowbound

Got up early this morning to fill up on porridge, honey and banana before trying to get to work. Possible long car adventures always better on a full stomach! We got out of the lane, along the up and down road to the village, then half way down to the B road but angst had already set in as we slided around getting that far - easier to go downhill and we were wondering if we would get back up, would we have to abandon the car, why have 2hours of scary driving when you could be at home working away with laptop, blackberry etc. SO... we turned around and went back home. A few more skids than on the way out and no chance of getting the car back in the space, so we abandoned it in someone else's (sorry!!). Then we went for a walk to feel good about the snow. Lots of deer footprints and some that got us wondering if there is a Forest Beast - big paw prints!

Day 3 snowbound. Tomorrow, its mountain bike rides through the Forest to get provisions...
