Hope to avoid yesterday's amusement. Went for a walk in a snowy Cambridge Botanic Garden. The trees around the lake looked particularly fine. As I walked over the snow towards the lake, I came to a kerb and stepped off it on to the grey tarmac of the path. This was a slight misjudgement. The 'tarmac of the path' was the grey ice covering the lake and the 'kerb' was the lake edge. The ice was too thin. Ah, well.
Sad thing was that nobody was around to fall about laughing at this Laurel and Hardy moment; as I hauled myself out , there wasn't so much as a squirrel.
Today, I have given up visiting other gardens; far too wet for my liking; and shall concentrate on hacking various bits of my own to within an inch of their lives. Have a good day,all!
Good morning WBM, plenty of snow in West Yorkshire bet your shocked with very low dark clouds... fortuately I don't have to go anywhere today so lazy day... just probably a bit of housework.
Morning fellow insomniacs.xx Bit chilly here in Sussex this morning. I've been out to feed the birds and now just waiting for the snow to arrive later this morning. I've got a ton of ironing to do. That should heat me up.Hope you're all ok. Fred, hope you're now dry and warm. Pity it couldn't have been filmed. You could've sent it to Harry Hill and got £250.
I am Not grumpy. I am the sunniest person you will meet in my house today. Fred - got a lovely photo of Jesus College in the snow yesterday. I hope the tootsies and the dignity have recovered.
Hi, boaty
We have no snow here but it's in lots of other places. Dil coming later as she will be working early on Monday near here. It's only 20 mins from here to her work, otherwise a possible 2- 3 hours if she comes from home and if weather/roads bad on Mon morning.
