Winter Weather

The cold and snowy weather continues to assail us, but what else should we be expecting at this time of year, after all we are in the season of winter!

We ought to be grateful to all those people who have to struggle through the inclement weather. People like the gritter lorry drivers, who are probably the first people out on the snow and ice covered roads, the post man, who delivers the mail each day, the milkman, who always manages to get our milk on the doorstep before breakfast time, the paper girls/boys who push the papers through our letter boxes and the men and women who serve in the emergency services.

The ambulance drivers and crew must have a heavy demand on their services at this time of year, when there is ice and snow lying underfoot. It’s not only the drivers involved in accidents, but also the pedestrians who slip and fall who require their services.

Then there are the lorry drivers, bus drivers, the bin men and a host of other people, who we tend to take for granted.

It’s at times like this that we begin to appreciate the services of those we often take for granted.

Pity the poor old birds!
