Saturday was stressful. There were two performances at Consett, one at three p.m. and the other at 6.30.
Storm Eva decided otherwise. It took me an hour to drive there in the snow (a journey which usually takes ten to fifteen minutes) mainly because of other cars not having winter tyres. All roads blocked, including one by a removal lorry across the road, trying to turn into an opening.
We arrived at three p.m. to find the show had been cancelled, but the 6.30 one was still going ahead because the principals were still on their way.
I drove back home, and her dad went to pick them up at 9.30, by which time it was a lot better. It only took half an hour each way as there were no cars blocking the roads.
Getting her there for 9.15 this morning was a doddle; just thick fog to drive through, all snow gone.
It's Jack and the Beanstalk, by the way.
