Hi Graeme. You seem well, enjoying the snow. I’m 20 years older than you but my memories of the snow seem just as vivid😮. These days I live in N E Wales near Chester but I was brought up in Worcester. I’ve lost both of my parents now but I have 3 siblings all of whom live nearer to our birthplace. My abiding memory of snow is how much my Dad used to enjoy it. We use to go sledging by Worcester Blind College (not far from Whittington and the M5 although it wasn’t built then). We have had snow up here but overnight. The Wrexham area appears to have had more snow than most other places up here. My grandson’s school was closed today (like yours was 40 years ago). I empathise with your comments about how we communicate these days compared to when we were lads. How’s your Citroen or Peugeot micro-camper these days and work? PM me if necessary. I love watching your videos especially since lockdown. Keep up the brilliant work. Warmest regards, Chris Harris 🤗
Having another 10 yrs on you Graeme I remember that whenever we broke up for Christmas from school, it was always thick snow outside and on way home we’d have a massive snowball fight. I dont remember the plastic bags in our hands but I remember the soggy wet woolly mittens that we had that attached on a string going through your coat sleeves usually made by your mum so you didn’t loose them. Also remember making Ice slide along the pathto see who could slide the furthest. Our sledge would be anything we could sit on to slide on including our coats sometimes if you had one. We’d be out there for hours and hours. Loved it. Ps well done on the fulll disclosure Alcohol Vlog. You’ll help many people with that vlog.
Yeah snow would drift up the front door so you'd have to burrow out! I'm same age as you I think and remember the snow being as deep as my thighs. Our school only ever closed once and we were always made to go in, even if the buses weren't running 😂
Ah claire du lune music 🎵 i can play that! In Bristol we got snow for a few hours but not enough to settle on the roads, just a bit on the grass. Bristol normally never gets snow! When i lived in Birmingham we got snow every year.
Hey, of course, so I didn’t actually do that, it was done by a previous owner of the plot, but I did ask and he did it to stop things like rabbits getting into to plot. Another great benefit is it protects crops from the wind. Hope that helps 😊
@@graemesgreatescape Thank you Graeme for your reply. Yes, it would help in both those instances. 🙂 I would kinda like to have a plot fenced off in some manner. Typical British thing I suppose. Bit like when camping and people surround their caravan/tent with windbreaks to mark out their territory😆

Your memories are not too far from where I am based. Tried sledging on baking trays once which didn’t end well 😂 thanks for your kind words on my videos really glad you enjoy them. I have a second channel running called ‘our micro adventures’ where I slowly started vlogging our camping escapades only we have been so busy this year it never really got going. I might bring some of content over here on this channel. In fact you have given me an idea for a video soon 😉 take care 👍😊

Only had a smattering down here in Gloucestershire but it still brought out the big kid in this old fart 🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy it Graeme 🤗
Lovely video! I remember that the heating systems in schools in the 70s/80s just couldn't handle the British winters 😂
Those horrible massive radiators which always had chewing gum in them 😆
😂😂 your right @@graemesgreatescape
I always remember my Dad carrying me and my brother over the snow drifts in 1962 ❤
The winters were bad back then weren’t they?

Can you? Nice!! 😊
@graemeslosttheplot I played piano/ had lessons while at secondary school. It's a lovely piece.
Graeme… can I ask why you have netted all around your plot please .🙂
