AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Awful isnt it. I know I said I dont mind cold weather, but my son's coming home today from Huddersfield so I'm checking the live train departures constantly, I'm worried he 'll get stuck : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 oh dear hope he gets home safe warm and sound xxxx :1b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well you know how much I love this weather (NOT )..........can't believe it's snowing here again this morning - trying hard to keep reminding myself that it's much, much worse 'up country'......... hali - it's so frustrating re garden plans - Mr S is taking a break over the Easter Hols with me and we had great plans for sorting the garden and planting etc. etc, - reckon we might be decorating instead Rea - hope he gets back safe and sound :1b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_9650 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 No snow down here for us southern softies - just blinking rain again - as for getting anything done on the garden it is like a quagmire! Hali I see you are off to Cyprus - it looks lovely and warm there (TV showing lots of t-shirted people trying to get some euros out of the cash points) make sure you take one of those lovely old fashioned money belts like we had at school - you don't want to be bank mugged by the eurocrats! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks both, trains look ok, but no idea how he's going to get that far though! His halls are in deep country with moors all around! No buses running at present : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm not positive. If this was the forum to swear using every word your nan ever taught you when you were little (honestly she did!!) I'd use them now. Looking very likely son wont make it home today, no buses and no taxis to the train station, snow upto his knees. I feel like crying Havent seen him since Chrstmas, I've got his room all ready and bought food for his favourite tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I know the feeling Rea. But, to be pragmatic, it's far better that he stays where he is, safe and warm and that nothing horrible happens. I know we fell the same way that my daughter can't get across from east to our west coast. Pennine route is closed, and will be for a while. I'm just pleased that its nothing majorly important that she has to travel to. We can sit on our hands and wait for the sunshine to come, and it will. The swallows will be back with us within a month, and this weather will be just a memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well, its cost me £30 for him to change his train ticket and I've had a cry watching Suits. So now I'm going to get dressed and go for a walk down the lanes : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_9650 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oh Rea sorry to hear that your son won't be home today - better to be safe though and have an easier journey when the grotty weather lets up.

AnonyMouse_9650 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Oh no - I remember my son making some stunningly awful meals with "what's left lying around" when he was at uni and either running out of money or eating what was left before coming home for the holidays - his first job when he came home used to be to look in the fridge to marvel at what a full fridge of edible food looked like before eating us out of house and home :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And washing up was only attempted when they ran out of plates, dishes, mugs, saucepans and anything else that could hold food. Oh so do I :1b I have been keeping a diary this year - a New Years resolution that I am actually managing to keep (well so far ) - so I've just been looking back at my entries - quite clearly I am totally obsessed with the weather (no surprise there :blink: ) - I have been writing about snow and freezing conditions almost every day since early January - there were a few nice days in there but not many - oh enough already!

Cant believe how sad I feel, its only one extra day for goodness sake, and as everyone has pointed out, he's warm and safe, I cant ask for more than that can I? Except that he had food!

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Oh I can totally understand why you feel so sad..........I know that I would........ So how come you have to pay for a new ticket when they have cancelled trains - or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick? Ah just read previous posts - and see he can't get to the station....... Edited March 23, 2013 by sunnyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 No thats right, he cant get to the station and as he's a poor student with the financial skills of a stick he has no money left for a second ticket <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tinkerbell Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hope your son makes it home safe Rea. Talking about the garden I had a parcel unable to be delivered on Thursday! husband walking the dog ,just missed the postman! Anyway all this snow unable to get out of our village so I have 6 lupins dying in the parcel office! That will teach me to think Easter was going to be getting in the garden! I am in West Yorkshire I should learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_5970 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm supposed to be off to the Peak District on Thursday for a long weekend. First break in AGES. Just heard on the travel news that all trans Penine routes are closed, Matlock is virtually cut off and Buxton only accessible from the East. It's not looking hopeful. Hope everyone's staying warm and dry and that you have the return of the prodigal son tomorrow Rea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
