We got the bus into town to meet friends. The bus skidded sideways on the snowy road, tried a couple of times, and then gave up. Which is why you can see Jane and Gideon trudging towards me as we head to a nearby cafe to recover.

I hope Bert (who calls a storm Bert?) isn't causing you too many problems.

Little sign of hin down here.

The bus skid sounds pretty scary. They're normally so slow and reliable, like vehicular tortoises. It's a shock when something goes wrong when you're in one.

Wet and windy in Swansea. Definitely no snow! But please borrow some of our rain.

Those tire marks are scary. The other thing to factor in is the existence of snow tires, which I wonder if city dwellers in Scotland use at all.

Buses, or drivers, ain't what they used to be... :-)

Or, more likely, there's sheet ice under the snow. Which sucks. Always. Hope the cafe made up for the unexpected walk
