I loved your story of the check-out man, marveled at your snow and chuckled that Tess could not resist the chocolate. I save your blog to read with my once a week Sunday coffee and it's always like catching up with a good friend.

On Monday, they switched to plan B and headed for Llangollen. Today, after a night of tent-pole-bending gale force winds and snow, they ended up at a parental house in Shrewsbury. Tomorrow, they are heading for The Roaches in the hope of salvaging something from their time away. A bit of calm and sunshine would be a welcome relief for them!Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357761230206692089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-24334203133026217432012-04-04T13:27:11.842-07:002012-04-04T13:27:11.842-07:00My goodness, April is certainly being cruel.
