SNOW!!! SNOW!!!! don't talk to me about effin' SNOW!!! I was up at 3 this am to drive down to Horsham...had to dig a trench to try & get the car off the drive , Up the steep hill that is my close to find that Kirklees council hadn't been out gritting ANY of the main roads round here! Took the long way round to get to the southbound M1 - a bit longer but not as many hills to attempt to then try & wheel spin my way up a steep hill (I have a reer wheel drive car who's tyres were nearly down to the wear limit!) to eventually get up the hill after nearly giving up (with the nice smell of burning rubber in the air!!) Luckliy when I got to the top of the hill, I hit Barnsley council area - who HAD been out gritting thank Gawd!!
Then had to drive down the 'slippery' M1 with virtually bald tyres by now...that was exciting NOT!!!
Have just now been to the garage to get 2 new rear tyres. (I knew they needed replacing, but was hoping to get todays journey over & done with first!
