Minus 4 snowing and it has and is still drifting when driving in.

Getting here this morning was certainly difficult. 4x4 was the only way and having picked up Mat from his home in Andoversford we struggled up the drive through big enough snow drifts, and at one stage we looked stuck.. but after several attempts we bulldozed our way through.. just.

Anybody who does not live on site had no chance of getting here, so skeleton staff on, well not quite as most live here in our very warm hostel, but the rider outers who come in daily to ride out 3 lots had a morning at home; even Kerry my PA was told not to attempt to come in.

Reading all the above makes you realise that even though racing does go ahead at Southwell we will not be having any runners.. we would not even get down the horsebox out, let alone down drive..Then our local roads are dreadful..

Marketing Explanation, although I have used some of these before..

People often ask for a simple explanation of "Marketing."Well, here it is:

You're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Direct Marketing.

You're a woman and you’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and, pointing at you, says, "She's fantastic in bed."

That's Advertising

You’re a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Telemarketing.

You’re a woman and you see a guy at a party; you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I?" and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed."

That's Public Relations.

You're a woman and you’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed."

That's Brand Recognition.

You're a woman and you’re at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend.

That's a Sales Rep.

You’re a woman and your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.

That's Tech Support.

You're a woman and you are on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing, so you climb onto the roof of one situated towards the center and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"

That's Facebook.

If you are a man and secretly disclose  a list of names of those women who are fantastic in bed,

That’s "Insider Trading."

You’re a woman and you are at a party; this attractive wealthy older man walks up to you and grabs your ass.

That's Bill Clinton 

You didn't mind it, but twenty years later your attorney decides you were offended and you are awarded a settlement.

That's America!
