If you live anywhere in the UK you will be aware of the chaos that has resulted from this week’s snowfall. because we are not accustomed to very cold weather we do not have much of the equipment that snowy lands use to ensure business as usual. The snow arrived here in Sussex on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday most airports were closed, and trains remained in their sidings.
Trixie and me at the beach before the snow came
Trixie’s owner was booked to fly back from Belfast on Tuesday evening, and as I write this on Friday he has still not been able to get a flight to Gatwick. So Trixie has stayed here for another two days, lapping up the attention she receives! This well behaved Jack Russell has been a star guest at three of our Christmas church services, and is enjoying herself playing snowballs. Unfortunately I have to take her walking in the cold, but that is the responsibility of caring for dogs, I guess. When we took her to the beach shown in this photo, my hands were so cold that I went to the ladies’ simply to warm them up using the
hand dryers.
Tomorrow Trixie is due to leave us, and she will be sorely missed.
