Hi MIDGKY, it really is bad in Rammy, there must be thousands of people up The Rake and Tanners who are on the verge of starvation. Everywhere is a sheet of ice under snow--- very treacherous and of course it`s all hills-- big uns. Bury Council swear they have gritted but little or no evidence of it on the main roads and of course the side roads are dreadful.The car park at Tesco is very dangerous,again a sheet of ice.Ordinary salt seems to have little or no effect when you sprinkle it on paths etc. I`m worried about my neighbours whom I normally shop for but this time I am the invalid and can`t do it for them and they certainly can`t do it for me. Thank goodness for young healthy grandchildren( I knew they would come in for something)Been baking bread today- no delivery at the baker`s( they don`t bake on the premises anymore). First attempt very heavy, second much better but still room for improvement. Will try again tomorrow. In the meantime the R.S.P.B. are trying to find out who is being cruel to the birds by feeding them VERY heavy bread.Happy New Year everyone. Viktoria.
