First Gritter of the Winter!

We don't have cuckoos round here (too urban? I dunno) so I don't do the spring thing but we had the first gritter of the winter swing by last evening at 6 and tonight at 5.10. When we move the 'new' road will not be gritted so we could be in for a skiddy winter. I guess it's a benefit of living on a main route in and out of town (the sight of gritters, buses and ambulances spring to mind) and something I may miss - but not for long. DD
Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben

It will be so much nicer for you both.
I woke up the other morning to our neighbour scrapping frost off his car. Mig0 -
I noticed that the entrance to the Job Centre had been liberally spread with rocksalt this morning, making it rather difficult to walk on that stretch of pavement. Yet another obstacle in the way of those with mobility problems trying to find work......?!0

when was the last time it snowed on Christmas day. I remember 1969 or 1970-the year I got my bicycle but think that might have been the last time.
