Winter held out right till the very last day this year.

Unlike last year when it hit us early with a bang, or the year before when a silly teenager rode her moped to school in conditions like those in the above photos, only to fall at an intersection,  slide across an icy road and under the front my car, resulting in a three car pile-up of oncoming traffic who stopped to rubber neck, a policeman to fall on his butt in the midst of it all and general all round havoc at morning peak hour ……..this year has  been drama free with little sign of the big ‘W’.

To see more photos….

For all the empty waiting and wanting,  this morning we woke to a sharp frost, frozen toes, pink noses. Jack Frost finally nipped hard and it seems we might be getting closer to the much desired fluffy white stuff.

Just maybe.
