Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

I'm beginning to think Mother Nature is one wicked woman....

Several incidents spring to mind which have lead me to arrive at such a conclusion..

Perhaps the most traumatic being the time that witch summoned ludicrous gale force winds of over 60mph, which in a gripping ‘Twister’ like episode, rendered me helplessly clinging for dear life (and increasingly late for a lecture) to a small wooden post just opposite the university, fearful that at any given moment I would be hurtled into the air Frisian style.

Then of course there’s all those times I (and no doubt you) spent hours prining, perfecting that ‘just stepped out of a salon’ look, only the moment we step out the front door not only do those Atlantic gales kick in, but the heavens open and the thunder rolls on in leaving us more ‘just stepped out the nut house’.

And finally, just as last year, we pray for that magical white Christmas…and as the icing on our rather crap year it arrives-frustratingly just one week too early.

But hey ho ho ho, pass the rum, pull on that vodka jacket and let’s look on the snow blindingly bright side of things. With some crackin pre-Christmas sales on, now is the perfect time to snag ourselves a bargain winter wooly or two and slap that smile back on our rather frost bitten chops.

Work those winter warmers with 80’s style fluffy earmuffs, fairisle bobble hats, arm warmers and cute wooly mittens. Just call me Scrooge-he’s never looked so cute!-bah humbug!
