Anyone got a spare sled?

Finally managed to clear the snow off the car,  and it also started first time, which was a relief.   Wasn't going to go out, but forecast was diabolical for tomorrow, so decided to head off to supermarket.  The place was packed,  they'd cleared the main road into the car park but not the actual car park, worse they'd not really done anything to the disabled parking spaces.   Got all that we needed,  so we are now all stocked up,  will just need some more milk.
The pic is of the ivy on the wall,  full of icicles, I took the picture on Sunday, and they are still there today, in fact think they've grown. Main roads were terrible,  a friend said it had taken him an hour to drive a mile!  And that was on a main road, in fact the main road thru to Liverpool,  we've only got a few buses running and a limited train service, so everyone has taken to their car.  I was followed by a gritter, not that it was gritting even tho it was full.   We've had some extremely low temperatures and the grit doesn't work at anything below minus 10, but they could get out in the day time we've had sun,  get some grit on the roads then and they'd soon clear. 
My niece and nephew got away from Bristol airport this morning,  they thought last night that the weather may close the airport,  luckily the snow wasn't that heavy.
Managed to get on with my drum, added three designs,  this is one,  will upload pics of the others later in week.
Looks like it will be a white Christmas afterall,   it does look very pretty,

Definately brrr, and go careful out there. Love that design, I don't think I could paint something that turned out that perfect.

I hope you have a lovely Christmas, and Happy New Year to you.
