Northerners

Since I'm deskbound most of the day, working from home, I appreciate a morning walk towards college with Moonface before we both switch on our computers and off to the world.

The streets were quiet today because of the combined start of the Christmas shutdown and the snow, but two people said "Hello" to me, which was most unusual and very welcome. Both were northerners: a tanker driver from the north-east and a Lancastrian woman sliding her way down towards the Gloucester Road.

How cheering, how typical.
