ventaThe thing about a hard frost is that it really makes you realise how many spiders there are about...
And as hard frosts go, today's was very macho indeed. The countryside around Slough was all freezing fog rolling greyly across white fields. Every leaf and every blade of grass was crispy with ice.
The roads and pavements were icy in London, too. I saw a small child skid spectacularly and fall sideways off his bike. Just as I was fearing that I was going to have to fake being a responsible adult and check he was ok, a voice came round the corner behind me.
Voice: Are you OK? Did you hurt yourself?
Child: That was great!
Voice: Are you all right, darling?
Child: Yes! That was a fun one! Woooooooooooo-hoo!
He was grinning like a loony. I admire his fortitude.
