I totally agree!!! I remember snow, but that was lovely too




One of my snow memories is of course sledging in the
recrationground behind our house. Steep hills and
trees at the bottom -Elf & Softy would have a fit
today!.

Mind you I do remember one incident where a friends
big brother did fail to stop and hit a tree, braeking
his leg. Great excitement was had by all as an
ambulance (never saw those much) actually came into
the park, drove across the hollowed football ground to
collect him. Dont remember much about him or the
accident, just the ambulance!

All the hills we went sledging and breaking bones are now covered in
houses. One hill finished up in Hollingworth lake. When it froze in
winter we sledged or walked on the ice. The whole lot made a creaking
noise as we walked across, about a mile. The river that fed the lake
also froze over in 1962/63 winter and the water level dropped as the
flow stopped. This formed an ice cave for us to explore. We were
risking drowning and being crushed at the same time. Extreme madness.
My brothers still live near the lake. They say it has not froze over
for years. Global warming in Lancashire!

My parents house in Guernsey has a steeply sloping lawn and our first
winter there it snowed - extremely rare and unusual. I remember me and
friends hurtling down the lawn on tea trays, while my mother stood
their wringing her hands. Maybe she was worried about those trays!

We used to slide down the banks of a small frozen river behind our cottage
(we hoped it was very frozen) on sheets of cardboard. I did get my feet
wet once but no big drama Didn't never not 'ave no posh sledges!

I always made my own from planks of wood, from about the age of 11.
