I know it is early days yet and there is plenty of time for the weather to turn but last Spring the forecasters were predicting that this winter would be worse than the last one.
I personally didn't mind the heavy snow last year as it didn't really affect me very much. Christmas is the only holiday I take and so have a full two weeks off. I love this time when I can have a drink and not have to count the units in case I drive the next day, I hang up my car keys and rely on my partner or my grown up kids to chauffeur me around.
Don't get me wrong, I love driving or else I would be miserable in my job, but it is also nice to have a break once a year.
Last winter I finished work for Christmas the day before the snow hit and so my only driving activity was to my beloved Maccies to share a coffee with my colleagues who had had to abandon their lessons for the day. When january came the worst was over and so I could carry on as usual with a few extra lessons in the snow for pupils who had recently passed but wanted the experience in the adverse weather.
This year nothing!
I have taken all the necessary precautions too. I have texted past pupils offering them a snow lesson, I have made sure that any driving tests booked for January or Februaury are not in the morning so I can phone the Test Centre before I leave to pick up my pupil and I have made sure my car and tyres are road safe and that I have emergency equipment in the boot.
