do you remember when you first saw snow? My Mum said when I first saw snow I called to her "Come quick Mummy, all white feathers coming down" :-D |

I was 5. We'd moved from Malta to Lossiemouth (NE Scotland). |

in 1947, when I was living in a little cottage on the side of Caerphilly mountain, we woke up to find snow as high as the bedroom windows!!! |

Erroll, it was 'wonderful' during 1962/63. |

Ann I cant remember the first time but one of the best times I remember was my Dad making us a sledge from pallet wood when the snow was really heavy ....He put cushions on it and strapped them with a bungee then pulled us for miles........fun times and happy times <3 <3 |

my Dad made me a sledge and being an engineer he put steel runners on it - it was so heavy and living half way up the mountain road made is hard to pull it to the top to sledge down - however, coming back down on it was a breeze -literally!!! One day I had to take the radio battery down to the local village to get it filled with acid - we had a lot of snow around the cottage so I put the battery on the sledge and pulled it down the road - however, when I reached the bottom they had no snow so I had to drag this sledge with the steel runners along two long roads which had no snow!!! |
