How do you feel about cold weather?

Good morning WordPress… A simple question you are asking us today. So why am I  struggling to gather my thoughts, put them into some sort of order and onto the page?

I’m British, we are masters at chatting about the weather. Being islanders we can have four seasons in one day, so there’s always something to say. And yet here I am….with nada!

Is it because there are so many angles to come from that it makes it not so simple, not so  straightforward?

I do have a memory about the cold I could share though….Many moons ago I was in an indoor market. An elderly stopped me and asked if I knew where she could ‘ get one of those scrapers, to take the ice off the inside of my bedroom window?’…. That made quite an impression on several levels and has stayed with me ever since….

There is a quote by an American visual artist Andrew Wyeth ( 1917-2009)

‘ I prefer winter and fall, when you can feel the bone structure in the landscape – the loneliness of it- the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it- the whole story doesn’t show. ‘
