Darn it, i missed the snow

We’ve had a wonderful wintery time in Sheffield. Snow started falling in the early hours of Monday the 2nd of February and for once it settled and stayed.  It was topped up that night, wich caused mayhem at rushour (my own journey took 3 hours, but i had a seat and a good book, so it wasn’t too bad) Further snow fell on the Thursday and we had a little dusting over the weekend. Sadly i was busy working so I missed getting out with my camera until today…and most of the snow has gone. I used to be a keen skier before my accident, and i am a snow fiend. I could live with snow for at least 3 months of the year and not get bored or fed up with it. Ray was lucky to be off for the week and got to take some amazing photos. Our little cat Maisy was not so impressed. She’d only just got over a bout of cystitis and was adamant that the litter tray stayed in place. I think she went 10 days without getting her paws cold, bless her.

The snow did interupt the college course i’ve been doing though. Yes, i’m back at college – my friends will not be surprised to hear…I lasted all of 3 months without studying something. I’m training to be a Union Learner Rep so that i can help colleagues who want to gain new skills or knowledge find courses to suit them, and support their learning. It’s a voluntary post but i think it will be rewarding in many ways. As an Open Univeristy addict i’m passionate about aldut education so this Union Learner Rep post will be right up my street.
