Snowy Monday

Yes, the white stuff is still here, and we even had another inch last night as well! Once again the roads are slippery and the traffic into town horrendous.

The View

Yesterday, as it was gloriously sunny, but cold, we went to the cliffs for a stomp in the snow and to take pictures. There were very few folk around, and so we walked over virgin snow, making tracks and photographing them.

Waiting for a ferry

Yay.

We had wonderful view over to the castle, and down onto the crowded docks and people tried to get onto ferries to head to France, even though the weather was even worse there. Below our feet, the channel tunnel was empty after six trains in less than 24 hours have broken down, causing even more people to try to use the ferries. Dover's roads cannot really cope.

So, we stomped around in the snow, snapped away, and returned to the car happy enough. We then went to Jools' Dad's to set up his broadband hub. Oh dearie, dearie me; how hard could that be? Very hard, and BT say that the uhb needs 24 hours to settle down before a decent connection can be made. So, I'm gonna head there later today to battle with the evil that is BT.

Before that, I hope to snap some shots of a steam engine as it passes through Dover at lunchtime, if it is running. I have the location and shot I want, just need the weather to play ball, really.

The all new even whiter white cliffs of Dover!

Jools has gone to Canterbury for some last minute shopping, I did mine all online and am just waiting for some final things to turn up, weather allowing, of course.
