HAPPY NEW YEAR and what a start!!!
Thank fully my diary has been and still is very quiet. I have my first engagement on Saturday, although if this snow remains I can see the Mayoral car being stuck in the snow, which has accumulated in the close where I live. Trust me to live right down the end of a close!
The snow, so far, has not stopped me getting out and about on foot, but I failed to muster the energy to trek to the gym, so that’s one New Year’s Resolution which did not even get off the ground! However, hubby and I did manage to get to Tilgate Forest so that we could sledge. Yes, we went sledging – without children and I have pictures to prove it! Although I have to admit, that the second time we went sledging I did invite friends along who had children. Thank goodness, I had not disposed of the sledge when our own children had grown up. They might have grown up, but we haven’t
It was wonderful seeing people and families enjoying themselves sledging. As it’s a great way to keep fit, I don’t feel too guilty about not visiting the gym.
People were so keen to sledge they were using anything they could get hold of – inflatable dinghy’s, bits of old shopping trolleys, bin lids, trays, the list is endless. Accumulating rubbish in the sledging area is growing daily as plastic sheets and deflated ‘boats’ are discarded. I would like to offer a plea to help our poor work team who are working flat out in this weather.
Please help by taking discarded sledging aids home with you.
Another plea – please leave the rescue aids in their place which is at the edge of the lake. Removing these could be life threatening.
Other than that, have a great time.
Don’t forget to check on the Crawley Website for news and updates of services, especially regarding household rubbish.
Failing that, I am sure you could ring into the Contact Centre.
Keep safe, keep warm, keep calm, keep in contact.
