Yes I do very clearly remember the winter of 1963. It was typical of every winter I could remember.

Our mother would insist we didn't leave the house without a thin Jersey that we invariably discarded on the walk to school. Often we tried to slink out the front door without it as it was too much trouble carrying it around.

We went to school in shorts as we did in summer, and there was no heating in the classroom.
There were only the occasional days that were overcast; the sun mostly shone every day with hardly a cloud in the sky. The sky was always blue.

The ground wasn’t wet as it hadn’t rained for 2 months and wouldn't rain for another 3 months.

But things were different  living just south of the equator.  :)

In 1963 we had a small farm in the south Herefordshire boarders the snow filled the roads as high as the hedges, it was great fun walking to school. Of course in those days the Head master lived in the village.

The snow plough's the council had were no good because they only pushed the snow to the side of the road, but as the roads were full to the hedges, there was no were to push it. The village was cut off for about 6wks until they got a snow blower that shot the snow in the air over into the fields.

Inside window cleaning.
As someone on here did text all customers maybe say usually charge double  but 50% discount at the mo.

Or do as sunshine windowcleaning does get third+ custies on standing order promise 10 cleans a year setup over 12 months.

I get round on a 5 week cycle, tell everyone monthly but looking at george program 10 cleans is about right.

So if standing order setup money coming in every month ;)

Or go into snow clearing ;D
