I've been off since Monday night... but got home really late. We'd had a bit of snow a couple of days earlier (very unusual for Southern Britain this early in the winter) It seemed tyo be melting and by mid to late afternoon it was raining. A few minutes later the rain turned to sleet and then to heavy snow.
I didn't think it would settle but it did and cought the whole of Southern England unprepared.... airports closed..... trains cancelled...... trafic crashes all over the place.
My wife and I were out visiting housebound patients. Finished the last one about 5 o'clock it then took me til 8.45 to get the approx 10 miles back to my practice. Every route I tried was blocked.... mainly by crashed or broken down buses.
I then had to rescue my receptionist who had been stuck at a bus stop 1/2 a mile away from work and unable to get home and then take my daughter home as well. Finally got home after 11 pm!
After all that I don't think we'll have a white Christmas .... its been raining on and off all day and I think it will all be gone soon
Back in work 29th and 30th then restart in the New Year on the 2nd.
Sorry I went a bit
there a bit
