Weather Threats & the Egyptian River

[Pete Grey]

Yes it’s been bitterly cold here for the last week, but the light covering of snow we had has all but gone. Our Little Wenlock stove has also been on continuously since October, we burn smokeless coal, a bucket of which keeps it going nice and steady for 24 hours.

Yes I remember the winter of 63, I was working at a steel works, permanent nights, 12 hour shifts, outside in 18 inches of snow. When I got home went strait to bed I was that cold, got up 7pm a meal then off to work again.
