Proper deep snow in winter

A few years ago we had 2 winters of this.

Re: One thing you miss

There are so many things that I miss from childhood and early adulthood. Just one example: sitting by my gran's roaring coal fire on a cold winter's day, toasting bread on a toasting fork with a packet of Lurpak ready to spread onto the hot toast.

I remember doing that toasting bread by the fire with one of those big forks sometimes wheaten bread.

No, not many open fires around now. My gran had one until about 1985 or a bit later. It got a bit too much for her as she was very old by that time and we got her a gas fire. Nothing quite like toasting bread on a fire . Just a simple pleasure but gone for good now for most people.

One TV in the house so everyone was together to watch it.

Sleeping at my Grandmother's house. Done this on a regular basis between 1975-78.

This may be strange to some people, but I miss the sound of the coal train going up to Mardy colliery. The noise of the class 37 hauling the empty coal wagons filled the valley. It sounded like an almighty growl. When the train returned down the valley, the squeal of the brakes on the wheels of the loaded wagons then filled the valley. The train had to stop before it entered Porth station. Looking down from the top of the mountain at this train, it looked like a model railway. It all ended in 1986. To be precise, 22nd of August 1986. The last coal train left the Rhondda valley for ever. Something of my childhood also went forever.

For a long time we always stayed with my Gran when visiting my Mum's side of the family as she had a big house with plenty of space.

Eventually she moved into a bungalow so it was hard for us to all stay.

IIRC there were issues on advertising, which made them uneconomical to show.

I've noticed there is some CITV on ITV early on Weekend mornings.
