Done earlier today Sacha! Will have to do again tomorrow as the heavy
snow has just arrived.

Hi Trevor! Bit of an ongoing project for some of you. We've had very
little snow here and most of it has gone. There's one big glob waiting to
fall on the head of some unwary person going into the large greenhouse at
just the wrong moment! I'm trying to decide whether to warn them... ;-)


Depends on who you see heading there ... eg


That reminds me of the small Japanese man who was almost buried under
a pile of sow after my son lobbed a well aimed snowball into a tree
covered in snow at Schloss Linderhof in Bavaria. On the same day he
and his sister made a large snow ball and rolled it down a hill
towards a busload of tourists. Luckily it missed.


This makes me remember bringing a boat alongside a pontoon on which a
very small Frenchman was standing. The rather beefy English boy aboard
leaped onto the pontoon to tie up and the small Frenchman took off like
a circus acrobat and landed in the River Rance! Even he was helpless
with laughter once he'd been helped out!
