    The Country is Shivering - literally

    There's been another earthquake, in Cumbria this time.

    Total over reaction.
    It is called winter, and it happens once a year.
    Please be aware that due to visual impairment I will occasionally post typos in error.

    I blame the Brexiteers, this is what happens when you try to separate the UK from Europe.

    We could run out of chicken again.
    That's not normal.

    I hope you did not venture to Manchester Hills today Little L.
    The traffic was slow through main routes.
    We had blizzards and white out late afternoon.

    I hope you've sent the appropriate paperwork with it. It won't get in otherwise.

    You shouldn't be - the hills are the best places to keep warm in the winter - all that climbing. We head for the beach, wide open space, North wind blowing full on. we spend time down there and then return to town where the comparison means you do not feel cold for several hours.

    You are assuming, like the Cyclist does, that everyone is in the same physical condition. I have had numerous joints replaced due to wearing them out and the results of a flying lesson off a motor cycle 50 years ago. I'm afraid that although I walk a lot making for the hills is not far up my list of priorities at the moment.

    Yes, sorry, it is easy to believe everyone is capable of doing the same things. It is good that you do get out and about, well done! I hope you have now had all the surgery you need - but if there was a next time, tell them you want the same considerations as the six million dollar man!
