Yup, it’s Friday again. I’ve a tendency to come out in a rash at the mere thought of battling my way across country on the A14, especially on a dreich evening such as this — so, in spite of the vertically challenged geography of Fenland, I snuck a peak at the BBC weather for “Cambridge” tomorrow. The walking group are heading over to Thetford Forest, the “largest lowland pine forest in Britain” (cue awed Oohs and Ahhs). It looks rather pleasant, and I badly need to get out of the constructed concrete, tarmac, steel and glass cityscape for a bit, even if the alternative is flat and grey and squelchy.
With large parts of the UK seeing lying snow at some point over the last two weeks, it’s been a refreshingly wintry finale to 2009, and it looks set to continue into 2010. The snow in Cambridge has been gone over a week now, but sharp frosts and clear skies are back again.
