The message
from Steve Jackson contains these words: In message , June Hughes writes Ah. Please enlighten me - was the notorious winter of 1947 1946/7 or 1947/8? 1947/48. Sorry June, I think it was 1946-47! In fact, the winter didn't get going until late January that year but persisted well into March - a bit before my time of course! That was what was lodged in my memory - but I put the question with no prompts. phew! Not losing it, after all! /phew Not before my time though. My memory was waking up on my seventh birthday (30th April) to find that the almond tree outside my bedroom window, which was bloomin' late that year, was covered with a cap of snow. It was so beautiful - like a Chinese painting - the bare branches almost black against the bright sky, along with the pink petals of the flowers all with a Christmas-card covering of snow. Normality restored. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
