Where are the snows of yesteryear?
John of NB Alacrity has kindly sent me photos of Granny Buttons in the snow at Hertford last Tuesday.
It's a rare day that sees snow on the canal these days, and seemingly rarer when I'm aboard. And I wasn't in this case - I'm shuttling back and forth to Sussex, trying to sort out my late father's home.
I bet the canal photographers were out in force, though, filling up their memory cards with next year's Christmas cards and calendar shots to pretend that we still have Dickensian winters.
In the Britain of climate change, snow is HTGT. Literally.
