I remember those days as a child born in the 60s. Walking to school yes in bad weather,, being locked out of the school rooms and prefabricated huts to have break outside even if it was freezing or snow.

Waking up with ice inside the windows in the house,,, and dressing in bed or downstairs as it was freezing upstairs.

Power Cuts in the winter when we got candles out. Blimey it makes me feel old now.
