Wishing for spring


Over the past 4 weeks, we have all had to put up with the 'Beast from the East', and now we have the sequel.
 
 

Weather impacts our lives in unexpected ways. At home it's a struggle to get our two dogs to go for a walk the radiator seems far too appealing to them. Then if we make it outside we have to decide how to handle my daughter using the mobility scooter or the wheelchair which becomes a challenge in its own right. The balance of staying in or making sure that we can ensure her safety outside. 
The snow is beautiful when it falls and everywhere looks so serene, but many people are having dramas of their own. When the weather has a red warning, why do people decide to travel? and then wonder why emergency responders have to rescue them? The news warns us not to  travel unless you urgently have to.... For me it's safety first.  In these atmospheric conditions I have seen colleagues go the extra mile on countless occasions.  For example, gritting the walkways and driving at slower speeds.  Basically, looking after each other and our customers; making safety a personal core value and which is great to see.



Roll on spring.  More travel, more people, an economy boost and sunshine!
