Peak District cottages - Car Park in the Snow
Now this is really starting to get boring. Another 2.5 hours out in the snow this morning (before breakfast) clearing the drive and the footpaths, to our peak district cottages, of snow. It wasn’t very pleasant this morning. A biting north wind, wet snow (you know what I mean) and driving icy rain. I was frozen. Shirley came out to help for an hour which I was grateful for and saved me some time but it was still very hard work. I wonder how much a snow plough and gritter would cost? The afternoon was spent updating our database records ready to send out the ‘yearly letter’. This year we intend to send it out by e-mail which is going to be a challenge as it is the first time we have done it. We have resisted it for the last 2-3 years because of the impersonality of email but now feel that as most of our guests have e-mail we would try it and see how we get on. We will still be sending a letter to those we know don’t have e-mail addresses.
