Snow, snow day

Now, I’m not sure if you will have heard or not (jokes), but a lot of the UK was bombarded with snow last week. Tuesday, routine as usual. Kids go to school, mum enjoys the peace and quiet for a few hours, kids come home from school. Tea time, bath time, bed time. Relax. Go to bed yourself, expecting it to be like Groundhog Day again tomorrow. Oh no. That wasn’t in the plans of Mother Nature. Especially not here in Lincolnshire. Nope.

Winning the Battle against Writer’s Block – Blogging Isn’t a Walk in the Park

“All you do is just sit behind a computer all day, tapping away on your keyboard – it’s not hard.” – Sound familiar?
