Snow and Ice

On my windscreen

We start the year with snow and ice….. and sunshine. Not too much snow but we’re lucky that we rarely gets loads of the white stuff. It’s hard to believe that these trees will again become alive, covered with leaves come the spring.

I’m in the middle of reading Ali Smith’s novel ‘Winter’. How appropriate!!! I didn’t really plan it that way, but it just comes after ‘Autumn’, and I’ll eventually read her ‘Spring’ and ‘Summer’.

In an early part of the book she offers the idea that-
