Winter of 1947.

The book I was thinking of was"A day in the life of Ivan Denisovich"

I think it was also made into a movie with Tom Courtney

 

 

The "Ruskies" were use to it, so no problem there then. We were used to a light sprinkling off flour normally, you cannot compare to what they were used too as to a new situation that we had never experienced before.

I remember another very cold winter of 1935/6 we lived on Southey Hall drive and I used to take patato peelings to a farm which is now Parsons Cross, behind the School and I slipped walking up towards the school, can't remember the name of the road but it ran down to Longley Park. Anyway I slipped and broke the ice with my face which bled then froze, I must have looked a right mess.

On Hatfield House Lane, in 47, the snow piled up to the window cills at the back of our house, we seemed to spend a lot of time huddled over a small coke fire. I don't know if my memory serves me right , it was before the war, maybe 38 or 39, I remember looking out of my bedroom window on Xmas eve watching it gently snowing - magic!
