Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.

Just a quick post in between rushing about trying to say goodbye to everybody.
Opened the curtains this morning and could not believe what I saw, Snow!
It's the most snow I have seen in years up here.



Here is a picture of Mick saying goodbye to his mate Mr Whippy, the famous DJ, radio broadcaster and Ice Cream Man.


I'll also say, that apart from friends and family, the other thing we will miss is Chris Wainwrights beautiful Fish and Chips, served by a great bunch of girls at Beacon Road Traditional Fisheries.
We took a picture to remind us of fish chips and a scallop, but please note, they are not full portions of chips on show here.

We found out that the other driver who is on our flight is meeting us in Gatwick along with Wolf, and it's Javi, who has a blog ...click here.
Javi and Wolf have both been trucking in Canada before, so Mick will be asking a few questions when we all meet up.
So, it's finally arrived, time to go, and it only seems like a week or two since we decided to go in April.
