Then it was back to wincanton to do some more gardening,Sarah took charge of the bonfire and i set about cutting down the first tree and part of the second,stayed there till 2pm then came back home,bringing with me a couple of apple logs for carving,jack and Ben had after school club so Sarah and charlie stayed at lou's house for a cuppa,i stayed at home and set about carving the first spoon,it will be a serving/cooking spoon with hook on the back to stop it slipping into the pan when in use.
As I write it is trying to snow out,the forecast is good for a layer by dawn and snow all day tomorrow.
23:27hrs and its snowing really well with nearly an inch on the ground! woohooooo! theres something really special about it snowing at night,i remember as a small child waking in the night and finding mum not in her room,she was in the kitchen on a camp bed ,she had the cooker on for extra heat and it was snowing hard,looking out of the window across woodside road i could see the huge flakes falling in the orange glow of the street lamps,my mother had the wireless on and was listening to the police radio traffic,which you could do easily on any wireless set back then,there was chatter between the controller at the police station on the Wilton road and the coppers in the town or where ever they were ,dealing with snow related incidents,we sat there at the kitchen table dunking digestive biscuits in hot tea till nearly dawn.
