No, the village has not been cut off, the gritter comes in ahead of the first bus, as the trick is to immediately mix up the grit and snow, and hey presto slush and clear tracks. So bus route open, cars out and ‘goods ‘for the village shop in. Last bus – cut off time depends on how heavy the fall, some days, like today 5pm,yesterday 7pm. So village pub benefiting. As last bus is usually 11pm.

Our view is out of this world and I am so glad I am an OAP.
