Heavy Snowfall Hits The United Kingdom! Winter truly arrived in style in the United Kingdom with heavy snowfall causing chaos across most of the country. A spell of cold and snowy weather hit the country at the start of December, with temperatures dropping well below 0° C and snow over 1 metre deep in more Northern and remote places. Another spell of cold weather has hit the United Kingdom this weekend, with day time temperatures barely reaching above 0° C. In some more remote Northern areas temperatures have dropped to -20° C or colder! The heavy snowfall caused transport chaos across Colchester yesterday, with people struggled to get to work on roads made treacherous by snow and ice. Our local Police service,Essex Police dealt with more than 180 weather-related incidents across the county, including 20 road collisions, 25 fallen power cables and 16 downed trees. Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester said: "It always amazes me how snow can cause complete chaos to the country's entire infrastructure. Although it is wonderful to see and makes it feel so much more festive during the week leading to Christmas." He added: "Its strange to think that many of our followers across the world, including America, Canada, Spain and even Australia are most likely enjoying much warmer weather." Below are some photos Harry took earlier this morning. Enjoy! For more information please Contact Us on the following details

Mr Ernest & Mrs Edna Taylor from Colchester in the United Kingdom, are set to deliver a drawing to Captain David Pembridge when they cruise aboard Aurora during a 23 night Christmas Caribbean Cruise. We first made contact with Mr & Mrs Taylor when they meet with some of our staff members in the local supermarket, they were intrigued by the T-shirts our staff were wearing and the conversation soon progressed. Mr & Mrs Taylor soon mentioned their upcoming cruise aboard Aurora and were interested to see our drawings. We later visited their home where we showed them a few examples of our drawings of various cruise ships, including some of our own future concept designs too. They were both very impressed and interested in our work and said what an honour it would be to take a drawing aboard with them to present to the Captain of Aurora on their upcoming Christmas Caribbean Cruise. After visiting Mr & Mrs Taylor in October we completed a drawing of Aurora which they have agreed to take aboard on our behalf later this month. We have since been in contact with P&O Cruises who have been in touch with the ship and Captain David Pembridge who is expecting the drawing. Today, Thursday 2nd December 2010, Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director Dream Designs Colchester visited Mr & Mrs Taylor’s home to present the drawing of Aurora to them, to later pass on to the Captain. Harry Cotterill said "It is so fantastic to have another drawing going aboard yet another cruise vessel. I am very thankful for Mr & Mrs Taylor for agreeing to take the drawing aboard on our behalf"
We shall keep you updated on the progress of the drawing. Be sure to check back during the course of this month for the possibility of more updates. For more information please Contact Us on the following details Harry Cotterill - President & Managing Director [email protected] 07778940245 |
