When the temperature shoots up to a balmy -16C it’s time to bundle up and head outside! It’s strange how the body remembers things from childhood…
- How snow squeaks underfoot when the temperatures dip
- How hard it is to get the scarf just right – too high, your glasses fog up, too low, your nose and cheeks freeze.
- How you feel like the Michelin Man with all those layers on.
- How cold your fingers get when you take off your gloves.
- How your lungs cringe when you sprint for the traffic light.
- The perpetually runny nose.
- Stepping inside and instantly being bathed in sweat under all those layers.
- The speed with which your glasses fog up when you come inside.
- The brilliant burn of sun on snow.
- Those mountains, in their fine white cloaks.
- The sheer delight of being out there when it’s really too cold to be out there.
