We woke up to the BBC bovver boys warning of more significant snow falls and more general disruption. So of course it started to rain as the temperature shot up to a dizzy 1.5c Huttonian had acquired a state of the art inflatable toboggan which needed a test run before the snow disappeared. At least enough snow remained to give the Aussies and the girl-next-door some sledging* (a sport at which the Australians excel especially on the cricket field*) and the postie failed to get his van up Kirk Lane thus showing that 'massive disruption' just about summed it up. Rarely do you see so many people outside the old pub in Hutton and with cars virtually non existent our own version of the Cresta Run was impressive and safe with speeds of up to nearly 5kph being reached. Miss KB (alpogies to the CB bloggee) is now thinking of entering the Tethered Down Hill event at the under two Winter Olympics.
