Everyday you live and learn... today I learnt what snow gates are. I have heard about them so many times this winter on the radio driving in or back from work, when the BBC2 travel lady reports the bad weather and especially up in Scotland.
One of our students who loves talking about his homeland and Sam and myself love listening, explained that; yes they were gates that shut off the road or barriers to stop people venturing onto impassable roads.
And no they weren't huge ornate iron gates with ancient and gnarled Scots bent over from the strain as they push them shut like something from Lord of the Rings, with cries of 'Nay snow will past through here ta night!'
And yes my imagination has run wild yet again.
Also found out that size 14 hurts around my huge stomach and I'm going to have to chat up my mates to see if I can borrow some of their evening outfits for the cruise which is only 26 days away.... holy buggery!
Learnt that some men don't go away mores the pity!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
