Yes, OK – my life is this dull that two snow days on the trot I’ve made a post of photographs. Still, it’s not every day that it does snow and apparantly it’s going to all disappear by the weekend. Quite a bit of it has disappeared here today to be honest which actually is a bit of a shame as despite the inconvenience of not being able to get to work and suchlike, I like snow. I like the feeling that it makes under your feet when you’re the first person to walk over it. I like the way it makes everything look bright and clean.
(There is a paragraph about this in Rob Grant’s book Incompetence but I can’t find it at the moment – if you have the book it’s in the Prologue which you will find after Chapter 2.)
I also found out this morning that it’s surprisingly fun to drive over. For reasons that still aren’t quite clear to me, I decided that I should continue with my normal ploy of turning off the Link Road and nip the rest of the journey to Tiverton on the back roads to avoid the traffic that usually builds up around the Bolham Road roundabout.
Anyway – here are some photographs. Again, taken on my phone and while some are from the inside of the car I was not driving at the time, again caught on the roadworks just south of Knowstone. I will probably at some point touch some of these photos up in Photoshop but these’ll do for the time being.

Hope you’re well

I think it probably was during Secondary School… you’re right, time does fly!
I’ve only just started keeping it updated mind… until recently it was a haven of nothingness and I just decided to kickstart it going again out of boredom more than anything else…
Keep in touch
