Like Old Times


Unseasonal mildness during the day and frost overnight in the middle of a period of calm high pressure weather all seemed a bit old fashioned on Sunday morning. This was caused by the lack of noise: for once there was no wind and, at 7.30 am anyway, no traffic noise even in the parts of Blacka closer to Hathersage Road. Usually the motor biking fraternity take to the roads early on Sundays taking the opportunity when the heavy traffic making for the city and the motorways beyond is out of the way. Those of us who relish peace and quiet are thus normally denied even Sunday morning peace. But today was, for once, different. Birds were singing and all was still and gleaming.
