Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow

So, the country is experiencing some of the earliest snow it has seen in decades. Temperatures are at a record low and our office heaters are on over-drive! Some of our team are having to work from home as they can’t get to the office. Others are expressively describing the frozen car horrors they woke up to this morning, and some have been in tailbacks since sunrise! A select few of us, who live at most a 5 minute walk away from The Phoenix Partners HQ, are smiling to ourselves in a way that says, "At about 10 to 9 I popped on my wellies and took a gentle stroll through the snow to arrive at work on time and pretty calm … that’s the life!"

Despite best efforts to keep our team members warm and cosey there are still those of us who, in the search for a grand night out, will leave the gloves, hats, scarves and coats at home in favour of mini skirts and t-shirts! Nowhere is this more apparent than ‘up t’north’ where the geordie lasses are gritting and bearing the frankly barmy minus 12 temperatures! The photos of these very brave party goers in the papers this morning really did make me shiver! However, I am very much aware that as crazy as they may be, I know I will be one of them. With my Christmas and New Year parties looming, I too will ditch the comfort and warmth of my woolly winter coat and opt for a much skimpier Little Black Dress! Think of me as you do the same.
