In November, we had an unseasonably warm spell. I’m not sure if our central heating fired at all. Apparently it was warm air coming up from Africa. Why would that happen? Anyhow.
We are almost back to normal. The only thing missing is the snow. Yesterday in particular it was really cold. I wrote in yesterdays post about the walk along Ryde Pier. I’d reached a point along the pier where I was suddenly taken with how bleak the scene was.
The picture really doesn’t do justice, you can’t feel the wind, it wasn’t driving but it was a reasonable breeze, and it wasn’t just cold, it was bitter. The clouds looked low and heavy. I have been wondering when it’s going to snow. They really had that look about them.
Are we heading for a white Christmas? Wait a few more days, and we’ll find out.
