yes its true the colours change, I was up in the Derbyshire peak district yesterday and the winter landscape is exquisitely beautiful. Weigh that against a winter like this one. Everything is so uncertain - I put off two gigs til march, just didn't fancy getting stuck in the snow at either place!

let's face it we could be up to our armpits in bloody snow by tea time today, the weather forecasters just make it up - they haven't got a clue....
