Rent Boy so nearly made it last Thursday ...

... when he was one of the 200 or so unlucky motorists caught up in the Telegragh Hill blizzard. He was actually the fifth car in the churning cavalcade which desperately tried to get over the top. He got to within 150 metres of the summit in his old Merc before having to wildly wheel-spin into the side of the road to await help. Many hours later, a ranger tapped on the window to ensure that there were signs of life before moving on to the next vehicle. Fortunately for Rent Boy, a friend came past with snow capability and towed him to the garage atop Telegragh Hill. There he would have stayed all night (no transit to cushy Haldon Racecourse for him - reserved for those lower down the hill, apparently) but for showing the old bulldog spirit. He managed to get back down the hill and proceed crabwise back through the lanes and home. Hurrah!

"I shall now demonstrate the ...

... attributes of the unsinkable, completely waterproof canopy that I am wearing 'ere ... " explains The Pillock ...

"Are you ready, Fukarwi?"

... asks The Pillock before his impressive demonstration of his 'unsinkable' canopy ...

How many will risk it ... video

Just about to head on out to Ashburton ...18:00 hrs

It has stopped raining here at Central Maidencombe and the wind has dropped to nothing ... quite eerie considering the worst is coming in the next hour or so - or so the BBC's weather charts predict ... finger's crossed .... And Eastward Ho my Wagon - YOHHHHH .... (and that was the last that was ever seen of him ... sigh)

All ominously quiet outside

as at 1 am Monday. Not a breath of wind and extremely mild (5 deg. C) at present. The barometer is steady at 29.8" (1007 millibars) ... the lull before the front sweeps in ...
