It didn't feel as cold as yesterday , I was up early and hoped to have a relaxed drive and avoid the rush hour and the bottlenecks in the West Midlands. This worked to plan so well that I was down to Worcester in no time and thankfully Starbucks was already open so I could have breakfast. I started filming quite early as the light was almost perfect by half seven. It really went quiet after 9 o'clock but I'd nearly got all the film I needed so the next stop was Kidderminster. Flecks of snow in Worcester then a bit more at Kidderminster but still nowhere near as cold as it had been in Stoke or was I getting used to it. Kidderminster produced a lot of variety much of it though Diamond with the Wessex bus fleet which pops up everywhere, they had deckers at the depot but I saw none in service. The snow got going as I made my way to West Bromwich. It looked ideal as the snow really heaved down for a while but then the sun came out, it was this mix that made up the visit and nothing new there to report but it had been a while so it needed coverage. I was soon sailing back up the M6 motorway, thankfully all the jams and accidents had cleared, there was a fair bit of snow north of Birmingham but that gave out as I got nearer home, I topped up with fuel ready for tomorrow, probably Doncaster. Thursday I'll have an editing and catch up day as high winds and snow are predicted which doesn't sound much fun in the minus degrees region. By the way the mole trap caught one of the little devils , he ended up flung in the hedge at the rear, I expect something has devoured it, we used to use mole skins on the gas board when I was an apprentice, they were a sort of cloth we used to wipe molten metal around joints such was the quality of the insulation. Well Mandy and Sue are now in Sri Lanka, the were the only ones in the hotel the first day so no need to fight for beds around the pool. Photos tonight start at Worcester. I'm editing the films but will probably finish them and get the covers sorted on Thursday, I'm at the RNCM at teatime so a quiet day and perhaps time to polish up my course assignment which is now almost complete.
