We haven't really had snow in these 'ere parts for 8 years.
Not proper snow.
Not like this:
It was forecast so I decided that I would open up for a couple of hours and see what happened.
I live closest and don't have to venture onto a main road. In fact, I can walk. Which is what I did.
I hadn't been there many minutes (hadn't actually taken off my coat) when into the door came a couple from the village.
They'd walked up to the Court, found it closed and thought they'd chance their arm at the tearooms.
They could probably see my footsteps.
The only ones in the snow.
We sat with tea and chatted for an hour. Topics of conversation - kids, the rise of China, university applications, Brexit.
It was something rather special, and will probably never happen again.
The snow can do that.
They went on their way.
I locked the door at 1pm and walked home.
