Grrr.  A shower is not a blizzard, eh?  And Slight is Slight.  Thank goodness my tires are less than a year old.

A shower, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder - as is slight 
snow.  Those from more Northerly climes will think nothing of a show 
deposit that causes chaos further South where they don't know (and/or 
don't have the equipment) to deal with it.  That is the case round here 
where we are under a weather warning for snow but currently it is only rain.

After an afternoon at my brother's yesterday, which involved driving 
back in the dark along I don't know that well and has lots of turns, I 
head off on Sunday to see my son and his family.  I have decided to take 
the train rather than drive (easier on nerves and wallet). Two problems, 
the first being that he has a poorly car so we will be catching a bus 
for the last bit of the journey, as well as the coach I will catch for 
the first bit.

The second is that (as often happens) engineering works on the railway 
are overrunning so they will have a special timetable. Hopefully this 
won't affect me too much as I will be catching the train at the point 
where it should resume its normal timetable.
