My plan was to go for the weekend and come back on Tuesday. A nice little trip to catch up with my family.
Got to the airport on Tuesday morning, fighting our way out of a big snow-"storm" (at least in my eyes), only to find out from the man at the check-in counter that there was no Webster (or Hunt for that matter - just in case you know) on flights at all that day. He took a look at my print out and sure enough, I was exactly 1 week too early.
Well, the big decision. Stay another week or pay for an earlier flight. Due to the limitations on my ticket, I would have had to buy a whole new ticket to get home any earlier.
My Auntie Sheila and my Nan said "We'd love the company". Great thing about working for myself. I can take off. Richard seemed fine with it. He and Packers would keep each other company.
I couldn't believe how much snow can accumulate in such a short period of time. I was constantly looking out the window and taking pictures with our new Digital camera. Richard surprised me with it for my b'day.
Above, you'll see Nan leaving her house that is surrounded by 3-4 foot snowbanks. We were headed for Cranbrook. Only 40 mins away but no snow at all. Goes to show the altitude of Kimberley.
You know how the day after it rains, the air seems clearer. No smog and colour is just brighter? Well, this is what I saw just everywhere with the snow up there. Just gorgeous.
