Uurgh! We went to La Mongie for a night, taking advantage of it being empty for more than a couple of days the first time since the start of the summer (this week’s guests cancelled, they were Spanish, maybe worried about border closures, not sure). We carefully planned the trip to be ahead of the coming storm.
But look what we woke up to! We were in the small car, no winter tires, no chains!
There are still farm animals up there (you may just be able to make out some Alpaca in the photo - they are better equipped for it than the cows!)
We decided we had to get home because we needed to check on the animals after the storm and Poppy had a vets appointment (sore leg). We managed to drive on the snow a little and then had to dig clear tracks as far as the ploughed road. After that thankfully it was fine. I had to dash back at one point to rescue the plant that Doug remembered - it was going to die if left behind!
All the animals had survived and we had a nice warming pizza for dinner. Bit too much excitement in the day though. This year is full of the unexpected!
The vet says Poppy has hurt her elbow and needs to rest for 10 days. It’s going to be tricky to persuade her to!
