Sorry your stuck Clare hope you can get home soon, just seen about the motorways on the news.
 
Have you got help yet lovely? :... The roads are dreadful outside my flat now, have seen at least 4 cars lose it and spin around in the last 20mins :... it's scary!
 
oh poor Clare, hope you get home safely soon. Glad you all had a lovely time. I am really sad I didnt come but it was nice to have the grandkids, as I said we dont have them often and they just grow up so quickly. (Bertie is next to my computer in his smaller indoor cage. He keeps peering at me from his igloo but at least he is toasty warm.) I hope everyone else's piggies and bunnies are warm as well. xx
 
Well... Managed to get pushed out of the snow drift and got most of the way home and then got stuck again... Just ditched the car and walked the last bit...
Gonna defrost my feet now... :))

I'm glad to hear you got home ok. Feel like a bit of a wuss myself for not braving it.

Oh thank goodness, I was worrying about you! It's really terrible now! Warm up those cockles and have a nice hot brew! I can't stop looking out of my window, if it keeps up like this all night it is going to be so thick!

I really struggled with yhe last bit of the drive when it got deeper... If you were in a rear drive car you'd have just been doing pretty patterns in the snow... :))
Don't blame you for not coming out... :))

I had a great time meeting everyone today, putting faces to names and piggies.
Here is a line up of the those that braved the weather.

I'm so glad you managed to get home ok Clare, we wouldn't have been able to send a search party out anyway, not having a photo of you LOL. I too nearly didn't make it, there were snow plows up and down the M69 and M1 and when I got home I found out that I'd switched the heating off instead of on permenant. I found three fluffed up miserable piggies giving me the glare. 10.7 degrees C is a little cold so I emmediatly gave them two heat pads and wacked the heating up full. They're still not talking to me yet.
 
oh my word I look a bit red and demonic in that pic hehe!

So glad you are home safe Clare, wrap yourself up warm and get the blood flowing again. The heating was broken on my train if that helps, I was frozen by the time I was home too
 
I look like someone has boiled my head in that pic! LOL! :)) Glad you got home ok also Mark, weather got nasty....
 
hehe only alison is missing lol!
Clare dropped me by the end of my road (just as well, terrible snow drift on the corner) at about half 7 and i looked like i'd walked from brum to home after only walking in it for 5 minutes lol!
Lovely afternoon as always, can't wait for the next one.
ps- mr sport billy- my OH had a snigger about the whole toilet conversation, typical boys! rolleyes ;)
 
Sorry Wiebke and I were just leaving as you turned up, glad you could make it, catch you next time hopefully.

:). My husband got back from hockey in Newark at about 6pm and he needed 4 attempts to get a front wheel drive car on the drive. :)

At least I could enjoy the snow yesterday. Normally I'm worrying about getting to work. First at clinic tomorrow morning so will be on snow shovelling duty in the car park, but looks like it will have cleared a good bit by then.

Well my car aint moving anytime soon... It's totally snowed in...
:))
Hopefully it will have all melted soon...!

My parting view of the tribe before leaving Wiebke's for the fun trip home.

Lovely pics of a great afternoon (except for Clare refusing to be included in a picture!). I hope that there will be more people that can come in better weather!

Great that everybody got home safely in the end; I was very worried about you all with the longer drives ahead as the snow had started to really stick by the time Mark and I got to Coventry; poor man, he even missed dinner with the Tribe!
