One of my earlier efforts (Jan 2008) had the title "Remember snow?". There had been quite a few winters when snow was in short supply and talk of global warming had lulled us into thinking that from now on winters would probably be mild and wet. So last year, and especially this year, things have changed, and a few pictures of our snowbound back garden should put the record straight.This has been a hard winter, but not yet as severe as 1963, (as you will of course remember from my Jan 2007 entry). I do recall a couple of lines in a poem someone had written at that time addressed to those who had spoken of earlier harsh winters.... " We've had, Old Timers, and you know it's true, a harder winter than you ever knew ! " So there you go ! What goes around comes around, as they say. Although not quite yet. But then it's still only January!
