Friends Hospital Appointment Today.

[Caran]

He had one of those appointments where he hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday. Involving a camera.
They couldn't get out as snowed in. In desperation his wife rang the council for advice. Lady said she would see what she could do. She eventually rang back and said the fire brigade are going to collect you!
She was gobsmacked. It wasn't a full scale fire engine but it was a fire brigade vehicle. The officers helped, half carried them onto the vehicle and they were safely taken to the hospital, passing loads of snow drifts on the way. They ended up getting a taxi to their sons who lived nearer and was accessible. Don't know when they will be back home in Cinderford though.

Brilliant outcome, Caran.

Where's your avatar gone, by the way.

That's fantastic to hear.

I imagine my normal Friday morning Breast Clinic was deserted today. Last time I was at work and it snowed, half the Friday AM patients cancelled.

What an excellent story to hear - so good.

I noticed an elderly couple being brought some shopping by one of the younger residents of our little corner of the estate - no drama, no fuss, just good neighbourliness.
