Snow


First snow of the winter today. It was falling quite heavily during the morning, the radio was warning that all the high roads were difficult or closed, & some town centres blocked by skidding cars or lorries losing traction on a hill.

By the time I left home the sky was gunmetal grey, the air damp but without precipitation, the road & pavements merely wet – again.

I’m grateful, really not relishing the prospect going into battle with ice & snow. Perhaps I should just become a sensible old lady & stay indoors when that happens.
