There’s No Business Like Snow Business

This is just going to be another general waffle about stuff, as nothing much has happened this last month or so to warrant regular blogs.

First, a quick mention of what is going on in Lincoln. The Thursday before last, the Christmas lights were turned on by none other than…Cannon and Ball! Yes, I’m afraid those old crusties are still around, and are in panto at the Theatre Royal!! (Last week Bath’s lights were turned on by the tasty Nicholas Cage…oh, what a contrast!!! I know who I’d rather see!) Anyway, this was the start of late night shopping.

Last Thursday Lincoln’s ice rink was opened, and I must admit that it looks lovely at night with all the coloured lights and Christmas trees…very festive.

Now everyone is talking about snow, and in between the sunshine and showers, those clouds do look as though they might be preparing for a precipitation of the white stuff…though the days of real snow, in this region, have long gone I fear. All we seem to get now is a dusting of the cold, wet, slippery slop…which I hate. As it is deceptively slippery, more accidents seem to occur than when we had real snow.

Just to remind you, if like us you have forgotten what snow is…this is my sister and our snowman (Feb 79) ,

and my nephew (about 1990-92) ,
