I notice all the Scottish people have been laid off for ages!

Resident of Scotland here: last rode about 2 1/2 hours ago. Today, the pony and I did nothing much, because it was too slippery, so we just slid our way over to the riding school, trotted around the school for about 10 mins until a lesson was about to start, and then waded through deep snow on the way home by way of avoiding the slidy bits. Then I sat on a steam-engine of a highland pony for an hour.
