    Them were the days, when we got snow @Wibbles ha ha - we were talking about the winter/January of 1986 the other day - the whole of the month was like a frozen month, we had icicles hanging from the house and hubby had to shovel the snow from round the car to try and get to work.

    The Big Freeze, as it came to be known, began on Boxing Day 1962 with heavy snowfall and went on for nearly three months. Drifts reached up to 20 feet in places and the whole of the country was caught in its icy grip.’

    Yes in the next ice age - When global warming reverses!

    I didn't know we'd ever had snow like that!! Given how much we seem to struggle with the small amounts we get I can't imagine what we'd do in that. But it looks so pretty and I kind of want it <3

    Especially considering they were taken using an ancient 110mm camera!
