You must have some very big muscles for a lady in her later years, unless of course you have a snow plow You are a card willow.

Come over here and say that Bruce matey!!! - although we don't have any snow laying on the ground, we've had snow flurries for the past week and the thermometer on 'Yahoo' currently reads only 1 o C. Walking about in just a jumper you'd freeze to death.

Would have been better if your daughter had dug you out Willow - hope you didn't have too far to walk in those terrible conditions either.
