Cup of Christmas... - a photo on Flickriver

            Hello and good morning. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, my Hubby and I went to Manchester to do some Christmas shopping on Friday and stay the night in a hotel. 

On Saturday morning there was a 'severe weather warning'  we couldn't sleep as the winds were gusting through the city centre and whistling by the hotel room. We decided to get up and start our journey back to Suffolk early to make sure we got home safely. All was well for a while, then the sleet started about 5am, the winds were high and we have a 4x4, we could feel the Range Rover being pushed across the road, we just thought that would be all. A little later as we approached Birmingham on the Motorway the biggest scariest snow storm hit the motorway. No gritters had been out, we had taken the Toll Road, no lights, no salt, no tractors clearing the snow, we were totally alone on the this empty motorway, We had blankets and water and snow boots but we didn't want to stop or get stuck so persevered. At times we lost our bearings, we were totally snow blinded, it was coming in so fast on the windscreen, even the  4x4 was sliding. There was no road to see, eventually we were literally driving via guess work.  After five hours we made it home...

I said to my hubby I haven't had an adventure for ages, well it certainly was, careful what you wish for...

Yesterday was hot chocolate and movies.... and no snow!
