Kombi time!

Well Sarah finally did it. After going to look at the kombi I saw for last week, today Sarah went, along with a mechanic, her dad and I to have another look at the same van. After some bad news that the horn and wiser's were not working sarah's heart ruled over her head and she purchased the van for 3250, down from five grand. Unable to drive the van I was left to drive the polo home while Sarah and Peter took charge of the van. Getting back to Cardiff we went for a drive and had a good time cruising around the streets. I remains to see where we will end up in future travels.

More snow.

Yesterday it decided to snow again, just when I thought that the warmer weather was on its way. I do love the snow but I felt a bit ripped of as where I was yesterday it snowed but then it rained. This made short work of destroying the snow and just turned it into annoying sludge. Today tho, as you can see from the picture, where I am here in Monmoth the snow has stuck and looks like it may stick around for a bit longer.

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.
