What a nice suprise …. just what I needed. There it was as I slalomed back down the lane today. Unfortunately the snowplough – having finally reached Blogstead – expired in a great puddle of hydraulic fluid. It and its friendly driver are now honorary members of the Blogstead community.
Lovely story!”Honorary member” reminds me of the lonely, elderly, and delightfully self-knowing lady parishioner who told me that she’d instructed a burglar in her house, at 3 in the morning, to “sit down and talk to me dear. If you go out now the Police may catch you!”
Now there’s a creative response to snow: trap the plough drivers and evangelise. Good luck keeping him. It’s a lovely plough.
