I HATE THE SNOW!

Took me two hours to get to Port Solent and back earlier (was aiming for the new forest but gave up). Half an hour ago, some BASTARDS threw a snowball at my sitting room window and smashed it. I chased them into a nearby hotel and rang the police, who apparently "won't come out in this weather" until the morning. F**king joke.

I've just had great fun White Laning it around Fareham. I can't believe what some nob heads are doing though!

I helped 7 other motorists get up hills etc. All in modern cars that have wide low profile tyres. I even offered to tow two people up a steep hill only to find that they have these silly removable towing eye things which they couldn't even find.

The only down side was the other drivers slowing me up

I've driven in through Fareham - wished I'd had the Landy!

Think it's finally been sold - chap is coming to get her tomorrow

Snow on the marina looks pretty.

Very rare snow in Salcombe this morning - hardly ever happens, not much more than an inch though, but it has turned the place white!
