It snowed in London last night. As made my way down the street I felt a cold wet thud against the back of my head. For the first time in my adult life (that I can recall) I'd been pelted with snowballs by kids. And not the powdery snowballs of my idealised childhood memories - more like balls of icy slush. Slush now dirbbling down my back.
"Bloody kids!" I shouted as they ran away, waving my fist like a grown-up from The Beano. "One day you will be the adults pelted with snowballs. Of course if it happens more frequently as a result of thermohaline circulation shutdown I'll be finding that bittersweet at best."
