We've had no snow since Thursday. But the main road into Cornwall (from Exeter to Bodmin) was shut til Saturday meaning that the big lorries carrying food to the supermarkets couldn't get through and all the shelves were bare.

What do you do when there is nothing in Tesco....?

I had a bit of a Homer (Simpson) moment to myself.

The first plans that came into my mind were as follows (in this order):
1. Go to Sainsbury's (quickly followed by no, no that won't work...then...)
2. Get mum to send some stuff down..... (aherm!... )

Obviously I am not one who responds with brilliant ideas in the face of adversity!

Craig was concerned that I was beginning to develop a hungry glint in my eye- but luckily we have survived the rationing.

On the day of the worst weather Craig and I did our good deed bit and got Des and Betty (the old couple from next door) essential shopping bits (bread/milk). They were so grateful they went out when the snow cleared and bought us some flowers and beer in return! Which was unneccessary, but really kind of them.

Talking of getting gifts- Vicky, Craig's mum, called today to say she has knitted me a scarf. What a lovely gesture! That'll be my first homemade knitted thing since Granny Stewart used to make our Christmas sweaters :)

I'm sure there will be plenty of rubbish weather to come for me to get lots of use out of it.
