4 Mar 2006 10:57 pmDaughter-dear and I were at my mother's today - it's out usual Saturday routine - we have lunch, do any odd bits that need doing around the house that she can't manage these days, and go and do our weekly big shop together. D-d and I used to walk the dog, but since she died we just sit around and drink more coffee.
It has been snowing again - but the roads were clear, at least along the coastal route, so nothing to stop us going. We kept an eye on the weather though, in case it started to snow badly again. Mum was waiting for it to start again with the turn of the tide - she believes the weather often changes with the turn of the tide.
We started talking about years when we did get really heavy snow-fall - I can remember the winter of '63 when it snowed and snowed - I remember being all bundled up to go out to play in the snow - although not clearly.
My mother, on the other hand, had very clear memories of the winter of 1940, when she was 13.
