How far is it realistic to walk in this weather?
ReplyDeleteGrey Granite and Rufus happily walked for about 4 miles this morning but they were prepared for the weather with suitable clothing and at the risk of sounding like Dorothy Wordsworth, were not unduly fatigued by their walk which took a couple of hours. The woman we saw traipsing through the snow in the sort of skirt which Grey Granite might wear in August when in Ageing Hippy mode and which trailed on the snow, ought not to have ventured to her gate and irritated Grey Granite profoundly by complaining about the snow. However, Grey Granite concedes that this evening, in a shower of hailstones, half a mile was too far.
