Snow anyone

[glencairn]

No snow here. The lasses here are tough. They are still wearing short skirts. Must be a bit chilly. I saw one lass wearing a frilly scarf. Must have got it as a Christmas present.

Most of yesterday’s snow has gone and today had been one of those gloriously crisp winter days. After lunch at the Spitfire Museum in Manston and a visit to the Hornby Visitor Centre, we stopped off for a short walk and a coffee at Reculver. Bit of a chill coming off the North Sea.

So who can remember the winter of `63 ?

I should, I was 9, but I can't remember it! Maybe it's the winter when Look North showed George House walking on car roofs covered in snow.

I was 14. Couldn’t get to school, magic.

I was 6 - walked on the Thames in Windsor.

I was 6 - walked on the Thames in Windsor.

I attempted to repeat this feat twelve years later while returning from The George in Eton. Let’s just say it did not end well.

1963 Living in a small village outside Dewsbury (Yorkshire) and getting to work in Leeds, then back home.

1947 was also bad. Told by doctors that I had less than a month to live. In the snow getting a bus in Leeds with my Aunt and travelling to Cramlington (Northumberland) to see my Grandmother. Then returning the next day. (It has ben a long month.)
