Went for walk this morning with kids. My youngest who is 7 says was scared
of the slippiness of the ground. But it took me back 30 years sliding
along the pavement with my 12 year old son

Yep, I have many memories of walking to school in the mid 80s when we had a
run of cold and quite snowy winters. We would seek out the slippiest ice
possible and run flat out then go for a big slide. Fun stuff, especially if
there was a slope.

I think I was fearless then, but than again, I've got further to fall now.

On a day like today we would normally be walking up on Dartmoor, or along
the coast path but the roads are just too dangerous around here at the
moment. Methinks I might be driving t'missus to work tomorrow unless it
warms up.
