there won’t be any snow+ice this winter…


I can exclusively reveal that it’s virtually certain that this winter will be snow- and ice-free (well, in the south-west anyway) – thanks to a cunning plan conjured up by Moira+me. We’ve “invested” in some “winterwise 10-stud ice traction universal slip-on snow and ice spikes” (see photograph!). They cost just £2.49 a pair (in case you were wondering, as oldies, we’ve been able to afford these by using up part of our winter fuel allowance!) and represent our cast-iron guarantee that, now we’re prepared for the worst the winter can throw at us, it'll be an usually mild winter period.
You heard it here first…
PS: Obviously, we haven't been able to test them out yet...

This 25-year old has been using them for the past 3 winters in Finland. They are brilliant! (Mine are a little different, Finnish make, but the idea is the same.) No more stress about slippy roads!

I'm looking forward to seeing them in action - except that the weather is strangely mild and pleasant whenever you come to visit!
