Not again – I can’t believe it. Tonight was the Start to Spin event at Gomati’s but the tutors and the participants are snowbound.
After a hair raising drive from Devon, where there isn’t supposed to be snow we skated across the road from Monmouth to Hereford passing : two accidents (one including a police car); two gritters and one snow plough, to finally make it home.
It seems as if every time an event is planned the weather rises against us – can the elements be sending me a message? Anyhow its off for tonight and a new date will be set as soon as global warming back on target.
