Praying for fair weather

I'm calling this "The Great Depression". A vast area of low pressure has engulfed North-Western Europe, and as huge wafts of polar and warmer, wetter Atlantic air sweep round it in an anti-clockwise manner, our weather flips between the usual murky and damp conditions we expect in December and much more active conditions, such as hail, thunder and snow.

All of which gives rise to concern about my mum, living in isolation in her lovely home by the coast, deprived of her car and now, it seems, her food as well. A local cafe, half a mile distant and formerly provider of much of her staple diet, is about to close. Moreover, a minor fault in the kitchen that prepares her meals-on-wheels has caused that also to shut down for a month. She has been given an alternative, a private company that will deliver frozen meals enough for a week, but all this demands more organising skills on her part, skills she simply does not possess. And what if, like last December, the weather closes in, blocking her road for days at a time? Please God we can be lucky enough to miss that this year. If not, she will be in deep trouble...
