No stamina, the youth of today. You should have tried living through
1962-3.



Luxury!

Wonderful, wonderful winter! I had my own skate blades by then, attached
to my cricket boots (the best use for cricket boots I could possibly think
of -- indeed the only sensible use for ...). No more skating on ponds or
canals: the town council allowed us to skate on the big lake in the
Arboretum!

Haven't skated much since though :-(((

Nor have I asked my mum & dad what their fuel bill was like that winter.

Where would I find photographs of the 62 / 63 winter? My late father was
involved in one of the first helicopter rescues in Aberdeenshire - he was
stranded in a remote distillery managers house for 3 days :-)

Lucky man.

What I wouldn't give to be stranded up somewhere on the east of the
Ural Mountains from late October, onwards.:-p :-D
