Too much is bad.
Plenty is better.

Started snowing here in Bath during my exam. I've heard down Chichester way it's snowy too. Gotta drive from Bath to Camberley now, crap.

Rock on

some impressions from Switzerland today

snowy roads... pic taken around 730am in motion, looks a bit like an impressionist painting ( Image)

and another one...

getting to work, I noticed that I had gone into the all natural stealth mode... could have gone as fast as I want, no flash could have identified my number plate ( Image)

have a snowy magical day!

Yes I had problems too Paul - took me three hours to do 4 miles yesterday night. I was only going to Milton Keynes to collect the wife. Gridlocked. It doesn't take much to bring things to a standstill here in the UK. [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

looking forward to the snow in Switzerland!

Off for two weeks skiing on Saturday (week in Morzine and then a week in St Moritz). Got the winter alloys with snow tyres fitted, stronger antifreeze etc and all ready and raring to go.

YAY!
