About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Malvern, Worcestershire

Freezing Britain. Airports closed, trains delayed or cancelled, roads icy and dangerous. That's what many parts of England awoke to a few mornings ago. The cold snap seemed to catch everyone unawares, not unlike similar difficulties experienced in WA when we have a heatwave.

Extremes of temperature whether cold or hot seem to cause us problems no matter what part of the world we live in.

Having said that we woke up yesterday to a picturesque postcard covering of snow on the hills that surround us. The side roads were icy and quite trecherous. Even walking was hazardous, as I soon discovered when we took a late morning ramble up and around the Malvern Hills.
