It is so much easier to move about in the city in snowy weather. Especially for me as I live two miles from the Victoria Line - all underground so as long as the drivers can get in it runs, and I work just over the road from the station at the other end.
I was brought up in a hamlet at the bottom of a steep hill. One snowy day the taxi taking my mother into town to collect us all from schools closing due to the weather only took her as having reached her he wanted to get out of the village himself!
My father was very proud of his town and country tyres that meant he could get up hills on the few occasions it snowed, and up muddy slopes - much more frequently encountered in West Cornwall.
I wish I was able to feed the birds, but there are so many cats using my garden. My neighbour once carefully put up a feeder where cats couldn't climb up to it, and found her cat bringing in birds - she was climbing up the other side of the tree to above the feeder and then leaping down!
