Snow...!

While I was in England yesterday, as I arrived in Reading, and looked up from my newspaper, out of the train window, I noticed that ... it had started to snow! Tess and Yarrow will be excited to know this, as they are looking forward to snow ... it wasn´t much to speak of, but there was a thin film of The White Stuff on the roofs of the houses, and it sort of looked very Christmassy. There may be some snow in Portugal as well, when you come, girls, up in the mountains... As I write this, dark snow or rain-laden clouds are covering what was a blue morning sky over Lisbon...
