After a bitterly cold week the snow finally fell and we had about six inches making the roads totally impassable and meaning that we have to stay home for a few days. The French farmers predicted this ages ago but I didn't really take any notice, now I'm wishing that I had. So thats why there was so many huge bags of salt for sale in the supermarkets!
My friend was due to land at Limoges airport on Sunday but her flight was cancelled and there was no way that I would have made it to the airport. They do not grit the country roads here at all so I am not risking going out in the car. Luckily I was prepared after last year's snow and I have enough food in and milk but the water pipes are frozen and we are having to go next door for fresh water. It is not as if you can pop to the local shop here - the nearest one is 3km away and I doubt it will be open! The boys are enjoying some time off school with their friends who arrived to play and haven't gone home yet! The log supply is running low and I am just hoping that the wood man will be able to get here in his truck when he can get out. In the meantime, just have to enjoy the view and at least the sun is out!
