As the country is gripped in a couple of weeks of freezing and snowy conditions, it's a worrying time for a few of my colleagues who are stranded at home with no possibility of getting out of their homes. Luckily, in Horsham, Wednesday was the worst and after a few fruitless attempts to get to work , I decided to cut my losses and work from home. Both kids were off school, and Helen worked from home too, so we had quite a noisy house!
Thursday and Friday were no problem as the roads finally got ploughed so I traveled to Croydon in my trusty van. Luckily, I have just had four new tyres and a service as well as the battery changed, so it is more than ready for the cold spell. This van is a Mercedes Vito, and it handles beautifully in the snow and ice, much better in fact than our family car. The only downside is how long it takes to get warm.
This weekend we have more snow forecast in Horsham, but I believe this will ease for next weekend when I will be DJing for the first 2 weddings of 2010. The first is at the stunning Amberley Castle on Friday and the second is in Aldermaston on the Saturday.
