Cold Springtime Run
It’s that time of year again - April is the cruelest month. It looks like summer; it sounds like summer; it even smells like summer.
But it’s not.
This morning was one such morning. Bright, bright sunlight, coupled with a wind straight from the Arctic circle. The trouble was that I’d got dressed to cope with what the weather looked like, not what it felt like - shorts & a long sleeved top, rather than fleecy tights and a couple of layers on top.
To make matters even more "enlivening", my route was five miles into the wind before turning for home. After forty minutes, I couldn’t feel my face. I had to stop to ‘water the countryside’ at one point, and I would have welcomed being arrested for exposing myself - at least the inside of the police van would have been warm! The trouble was, with this damned cold wind, I was chilled to the bone, so there was precious little to expose.
Too much information for you? I’d appologise, but that’s just the way it is here. :-/

Know how you feel. Lucky where i am it does not get that cold often at all. It’s just not fun when its cold. Frozen hands are the worst. At least the weather can only improve.
Should move down South….
