We had an interesting week of weather here in Sooke, all starting with 10cm of snow with large drifts up to 40cm and Karen and myself were out for two and a half hours shovelling our driveway just before Christmas, it was a happy time, most of the neighbours were out doing the same, some sherry was being drunk at the same time and after the snow was cleared, we closed the garage door and locked ourselves away for the rest of the day.
Then, over the following four days, the rain came, and by golly did it rain and all the snow has gone as quickly as it arrived. The forecast for the next week is more rain, so we will not be snow bound, just rain bound, which is certainly not as bad.
Christmas Eve was spent down at the brewery, Christmas day we locked the doors, cooked the traditional everything and had a lovely day away from the world. Today, boxing day, we will do the same, but if the rain holds off we will go for a neighbourhood walk to see what the locals are up to.
Happy New Year everyone!
