STORMY SHEFFIELD 🌨❄️
We usually get absolutely battered in Sheffield with the snow but this time around, it was next level. I also live at the top of a very steep hill so I'm always stranded (too many written off cars to chance trying to get down in the car 🫣).
I was SO anxious about this particular storm because I knew I had this job booked in which I really didn't want to have to cancel. My partner was abroad and I had arranged childcare for my littlun and to be quite honest, the weather was about to f**k it all up (swipe for SNOW). I decided to go for it and OH MY GOD was is stressful 🥲 no taxis could collect me so me, my 3 year old son and all my equipment and prep had to make it to a location that a taxi would attempt to get to. Basically, we pretty much fell down the hill, spent more time on our arses than our feet. As we got towards the taxi, he drove off and still charged me, we were soaking wet, my son was crying and this was all before 7.15am. Luckily, we managed to flag down another cab and was able to get on the way. Was it an absolute nightmare? Yes. Am I glad I did it? Yes! Letting customers down, even in the most excusable of circumstances is just not something anyone in this industry wants to do. Who knows where each job will lead you? ❤️✨️
Anyway, I'd probably do it again. I'd just have to invest in a sledge 🛷
