The first of the season and the first we've seen for years. The wife and I took our hot toddies and sat on the porch watching the fluffy soft flakes drift gently down clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It's so beautiful and peaceful. DEC 24th We awoke to a blanket of crystal white glistening snow covering as far as the eye could see. What a fantastic sight, every tree and bush covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time ever and loved it. I did both our driveway and the pavement. Later that day a snow plough came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it away again. The children next door built a snowman with coal for eyes and a carrot for a nose, and had a snowball fight, a couple just missed me and hit the car so I threw a couple back and joined in their fun. DEC 26th It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature dropped to around minus 8 degrees. Several branches on our trees and bushes snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snow plough came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is now a brownish-grey. JAN 1st Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which soon became ice when the temperature dropped again. Bought snow tyres for both our cars. Fell on my a**e in the driveway. Went to a physio but nothing was broken. JAN 5th Still cold. Sold the wife's car and bought her a 4x4 to set her to work. She slid into a wall and did considerable damage to the right wing. Had another 8 inches of white sh1te last night. Both vehicles are covered in salt and iced up slush. That b*****d snow plough came by twice today. Where's that bl**dy shovel. JAN 9th More f**king snow. Not a tree or a bush on our property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and a paraffin heater which tipped over and nearly torched the house. I managed to put the flames out but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands. Lost all my eyebrows and eyelashes. Car hit a f**king deer on the way to casualty and was written off. JAN 13th F**king b*****d white sh1te just keeps coming down. Have to put on every item of clothing just to go to the post box. Little sh1ts next door ambushed me with snowballs on the way back - I'll shove that carrot so far up the little pr1cks a**e it'll take a good surgeon hours to find it. If I ever catch the a**ehole that drives the snow plough I'll chew open his chest and rip out his heart with my teeth. I think the b*****d hides round the corner and waits for me to finish shovelling and then he accelerates down the street like Michael f**king Schumacher and buries the f**king driveway again. JAN 17th 16 more sodding inches of f**king snow and f**king ice and f**king sleet and god knows what other white sh1te fell last night. I am in court in 3 months time for assaulting the snow plough driver with an ice-pick. Can't move my f**king toes. Haven't seen the sun for 5 weeks. Minus 20 and more f**king snow forecast. F**K THIS, I'M MOVING BACK TO LONDON.! Mickb Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed. Michael Pritchard.
