I remember 4 ft snow drifts in the village, snow lasting months not hours, school closing for a few days, defrosting on the green lino in front of a two bar fire, then whining to go back out again into the snow, playing in the coal bunker with Peppy our cat, (he was ginger and used to come out black!), emptying mums cupboard of tins onto the back window sill and playing shops, picking brambles, collecting bottles and getting money back for both..........hmmmmmmm, those where the days
catching newts at the back of Belmont fields, and finding to my horror that Tony had put them in my Tiny Tears bath I was mortified ( well as much as a 7 year old can be )
