Many years ago: 199-something or other: we took our

for a walk. We had two layers of everything on, even hats and gloves! It was FREEZING but blue sky and dry. Slippery under foot. We had a photo somewhere of me and the dog sitting in front of a fountain ...... she was young and didn't seem to feel the cold, never said 'no' to a walk unless she could smell rain

This cold is nowt like it was that Sunday/Monday. Can't remember which month. Probably into the New Year. Now it's that soft snow which is sticking dusk arrives.
