Sunday came “we will run come hell or high water” but looking out of the window we were not enthusiastic. While we stood and deliberated it started to snow. It was small flakes at first but quickly escalated into something a little more substantial. Visibility reduced to about fifty yards would have made it dangerous to run on the road. Grass was soon covered which would have concealed lumps and bumps that could cause injuries to ankles etc. Pavements also had a light covering that made them slippery. The only sensible decision was to stay at home. By lunch time conditions had improved but with football looming on Sky TV it was too late.
Monday was completely different. You would think you were on a different continent, sun shone and it was almost warm. Running was put to one side in favour of gardening, well moving logs anyway. It was backbreaking and took most of the day. Today still not fired with enthusiasm we got out and did it. Five miles around the roads because heavy overnight rain has again flooded some of the fields and those not flooded are very sticky.
