While predictable weather would be lovely in many ways, when I've experienced it over months, I just occasionally found myself longing for a day when it wasn't inevitably sunny but there'd be a good English downpour. Oh how I missed that in India!!! I so know what you mean! Another place we lived we never saw snow. Our first winter home and it snowed, I was so entranced that I think I stood at that window nearly all day. Soon get used to it again though We always get excited about snow here, too. It doesn't happen every year and not always in large quantities. When that happens, it does lose its charm quickly! As soon as the snow turns to ice on the roads and pavements. It so rarely happens here but if it does, I try not to drive. I'm just not used to it and there's exceedingly little room to manoeuvre in these lanes. Last year, when there was some ice, Ray tried to stop an impatient driver turning off a main road onto one of our narrow lanes. This person pulled past him and zoomed up the lane anyway, only to zoom back out again quickly when he saw the Tesco van sliding straight down it towards him! Both were very lucky that a usually busy main road was empty at the time. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
