Get your act together deputy head!

Ok we've finally caught up with everyone else & got snow. Lots & lots of snow.

What schools are meant to do when it snows is decide early in the morning that they are closed so parents can stay in bed. What they're not meant to do is say they're open so poor parents who live in the country have to be dug out of their drives then spend an hour driving just 2 miles in horrendous conditions & then once they've reached the bottom of a big hill the school texts to say they're now closed. So parents have to turn round & join traffic jam going up icy hill at top of which a bus has broken down.
This was actually just about the scariest journey of my life. Every time I stopped in traffic it was a real effort to get going again on the ice & slipping & sliding all over the place. There were 4 really nice people at the top of the hill giving cars a push, otherwise I'd still be there.

So anyway we spent 2 hours this morning going basically nowhere.

It's very pretty though, once you're safe & warm indoors.
