    Snow in Norfolk

    I couldn't see the photo either. We also have snow here in Hawick, Scotland. Worn with boots and hose, a kilt would be very practical wear in snow; trousers get snagged on the boot leg and also the lower part of the trouser legs get very dirty walking through slushy snow.

    NO snow down here in West Sussex yet in spite of the forecaster's promises , although the frost has remained all day on the rooftops and lawns where the sun has not reached. Yes, we've had several consecutive days of bright sunshine. Only a few miles away, in East Sussex, traffic and trains have been halted due to the snow!!

    Mind you, I do not really want it yet as, with this sciatica, I would be unable to get outside to enjoy it!!

    Derek, my sister in Norwich is leaving in a week or so to come over here for a holiday.
    Maybe you should come with her to escape the winter? ;)

    Hi Graham, back in the 60's I lived on Buxton Rd in Norwich. Going down the hill in the Snow was quite fun in my Ford Prefect Sliding sidewards. ??:

    Derek,

    I know I have seen the lion pin before. Where did you get the pin. Nice 8-)
