Edwards recovery now open for business!

Just completed my 3rd callout for vehicles in ditches this winter and am beginning to think this could be a lucrative business!

The ice on the marina now stands at over an inch thick and one poor goose, (poor due to how it died not the fact that it was a goose and so died!) was frozen into the ice overnight and killed. The temperature hasn't risen above freezing all day and fluctuated between -3 and 0. Over night it got down to -5.8 degrees! The mother in law of one of our boaters managed to get their car well and truely stuck in thick mud this afternoon up some farm track that led only to a barn! I was up to the running boards in it and dragged the truck through the bushes and undergrowth to get her out. I have now ordered one of these...

....but would really like one of these...

Ah well, I'm going to throw another block of peat on the stove, open a bottle of wine and check the pork chops!

Tomorrow - back to work!
