The snow fell again on Saturday night and with very cold conditions all day Sunday created very icy roads & footpaths.
Ying & I planned on driving to hills for a walk, but after getting petrol up the road decided on going home and walking to the river.
It's a good thing that we did because the icy was really bad, we had to hold on to each other and anything else we could going down the hill to High street because of the ice. Once on High street it was pretty fine.
The river was very still, small amounts of ice & snow remained on the grass and foot paths but the grass was still a vibrant green nd pushed its way through the snow.
We walked along the river a little way and then just stood for a few minutes in the glory of the sun, warming us up and feeling lovely on the face.
On the way back we came across a Porche that had skidded on the ice into the gutter and couldn't get out, there were already three people pushing, so I jumped in to help try and push it up the hill a little so that it could turn & get back on the road. The ice was amazing and afforded absolutely no traction to car or shoe. Eventually we pushed (slid) the front end around to point down the street ( I took a slide at one point) - part of the winter fun.
