When it snowed............

by leics - last update: Feb 3, 2009

Snowy local landscape
It doesn't snow properly very often in much of England.

I can only remember two really long-lasting, deep snowfalls in my lifetime.

As a teacher for many decades, I can count the number of 'snow days' (when schools are closed because of transport difficulties) I have had on one hand.

Heavy snow does make England grind to a halt, I'm afraid. We aren't prepared for it because it doesn't usually happen (especially from the Midlands southwards).

No work for me today, so a long walk down a country lane to the supermarket seemed a good idea.

And it was.

Snow clouds a-coming

 That's a very beautiful and touching Armistice Day poem.

 Even though you have not been to US, you may like to see my last trip to 11 parks in Utah/Arizona. I was fabulous and unique rock formations, and remote places.

 Thanks For your kind comment. I am all over the Gelato situation. What to do first? How much gelato can I have before the heart attack?
