Snow Chaos & Root Canal!


Snowy chaos...been a funny day, virtually everything (and I mean everything) has come to a stop in the UK. No schools, no bus service, no coffee! Yes, no coffee...decided I would pay a visit to the new Bistro at Stanley Park this morning (yes-you heard right, a Bistro in Anfield) but that was a no go due to the pipes freezing and cutting off the water supply. However, all was not lost as I did get a free tour of the new `Isla Gladstone Conservatory` by Neil, head chef & former work collegue from the Raquet Club. Settled for a Starbucks in the end and then spent the whole day smelling like Liver-which is the norm for some weird reason? More drama as the day went on and we had to abandon our car due to snow drifts and snowled logjams...Gaz had to have an emergency root canal treatment and we were against the clock as his appointment had been brought forward due to bad weather! A small trek on foot and three uprooted nerves later, and we were safely back in our car with some very unstable old dear who we rescued from the snowy madness.
