good god been watching news barely an inch of snow and motorways closed ectra , can rember 6ft snow drifts in 70's we still got about its amazing how backwards this countrys getting when we get a wee dusting of snow  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

Well was the oddsnow falls then Oleyellow... But the last proper winter was 1962, 63 was great compared to today.

  Was telling the other half how we had slides of 30 yards or mor then... until then actually. When the soles of shoes had 2 inches round lol. Use to put Cornflack box cardboard in the shoes. Was, time we got to school just bare skin and icicles. Mum had to darn the socks every night lol. Marvellous how we slid on them slids.

Went school swimming one year in March. Out door pool of course. Was cobbled ice along all the road sides. Puddles frozeen.

Next year school was too late to get that date... so went 3 week in February!

Gosh we walked the railway lines for a mile an half, then the snow drifts across a mile and 1/2 through drifts to clear the lines to play another village at football.

Now the lads want a taxi to go 300 yards lol.

Remember fight to get close to a firs... warm front and freezing back from draughts drawn out everywhere to go up the chimney.

Only had a sheet in winter, till dad cam home to put his overcoat on be... Wake up froze when he went work at 6 O'clock lol.

Mum going balistic when we fed the birds stale bread... would be ok for milk slops in the morning ... Summer it was sour clot milk lol

Wouldn't change a thing ;D ;D ;D

The snow was that deep here in 1963 or 1964 that on the way to the shop I tripped over something. I looked round to see what I had tripped on and it was the cross on top of the chapel spire.  ;D ;D ;D :P :P
