We had visitors at 6pm last night, the mayor and one of the deputies walked half a mile from the main road to make sure we were OK. I was impressed, they had trudged through snow up past their knees. The track to the main road is still blocked by a five foot snow drift, a farmer on a tractor tried to get through it earlier yesterday and tipped his tractor over the edge. Another farmer succeeded to get in and out in a v ery large tractor, but it is impossible to get the snowplough down the road, so we are still prisoners.....no great problem for us as we have plenty of stocks of food and animal feed and while the electricity is on we still have news on the TV. At least our village is on a main avex road in the department and the snowploughs go up and down continuously, other small villages are worse off than us, and nothing is getting through. This weather is all over France and down to sea level, the UK is also very bad in places.
We now have the phone back on which is a relief. We also have beautiful sunshine and clear skies, we had a cup of coffee outside, it was like being in a ski resort cafe, lovely. However the temperature is due to drop and then there is more snow forecast for Tuesday, so if I disappear from here and Facebook you will know why.
A bientot!!
