Check it out Alex.

Hey Alex, I was at a job the other day and I saw this awesome looking 205. It was a 205 Gti and the dude that owned it had it lowered to the ground and if put those cool looking rims on it. I think that if had also changed the bonnet and the interior was pretty meat too.

New Pics.

I put quite a few pictures up in the internet, so go check them out in my earlier posts.

Snow Day, Take 2!

Well it snowed again alst night and it looks like it may be the last for a while, so I decided to hed out and make the most of it going for a walk and taking a few pictures. It is really strange to be living in a plce where it snows, where I live. I mean that last year there was a bit of snow but not near my house, but with all this snow I find it really cool. I don't think that I will get tired of all the snow, I find it too exciting!

Peter Challan's road. It was a bit slippery driving up the hill but I manged it. You just have to keep your revs low and the momentum up.

The tree next door to Peter's house.

Trees in the park near my house. A bit dark but I think that it is just a bit moody.

Waterloo Gardens. There was a lot of kids playing in teh park and quite a few complaining about the snowballs being packed too hard together.

The trees along the side of the Rec make almost a grand passageway in the snow.

After heading off to pick Sarah up from work I then took her to the Rec for a snowbal fight and also building of a snowman. It was a good snowman, being nearly 30cm tall, but it had arms and it knew how to hold a beer can. It was however dwarfed by the other snowmen, there was and igloo and even a snow mosque. I love the snow!

Opps

Tuesday. Work is on. We headed out to our first job and low and behold we followed the sat nav along the course. It did however send us out toward Black Mountain in the Breacon Beacons national park. Now this is where we did the walk to the top of Pen-Y-Fan so there was a good chance that there would be a hear of snow still about. As the road ascended we came to the start of the park and there was a road closed ahead sign. We did see a local that was coming off the road in a basic car and after asking we headed off. Going up was fine, but desecending was another matter. I crawled the van down the hill as slow as I could, and after passing am abandoned van we came to a hair pin turn. I approached as slowly as possible but as soon as I turned the back end of the van started to slide out. Out it went and close to the edge of the road and a long way down before the wheels gained traction and we were able to safetly continue our journey. A hell of a scare though. The picture is what the road looked like at the start of the descend.

A day at Rhosili

Last sunday, to make the most of our last day of holidays, Sarah and I decided to go to the beach. I thought that it was a bit of a silly idea seeing as the temperature had not reached double figures for a while and it had also been snowing on and off since before christmas, but despite this we headed off. The drive was nice and there was even one point where I got to try out my rally skills when the road turned to ice. Rhosili turned out to be a stunning beach, well the beach was average, but its surroundings were stunning. The wind was very bracing, as Sarah described it, so we took a walk out along the headland to find a sheltered spot for a bite to eat. We decided after that a walk out to Worms Head point was a good idea and after a check of the tides we scrambled out across the causeway to the point. Their were no seals to see but we were afforded a nice panoramic view of Rhosili and the beach. After a quick scramble back across the causeway to beat the tide we headed back to the car to get out of the bracing wind. With only a minor annoyance of Sarah falling asleep midway through eye spy we made it home with no prob's.

Working in the snow

While I Was doing this job today the heavens opened up, but not with rain or sleet but with snow. Large floaty white snow flakes that drifted and settled majestically in their white wintery surroundings. It was really beautiful and cool at the same time. It was stag a contrast to the sludgy dirty roads that were the result of grit and the passage of caps and busses.
