I think this horrible weather must be my fault! In the latter part of 2012 I had a new mobility scooter, we sometimes have an "indian summer" in September/October but last year, as soon as my scooter was delivered by a man called Dave in a white van the weather turned and it has hardly improved since. It is now coming towards the end of March, which should by rights be the start of Spring, and what do I see outside my window? Snow!! I ask you snow, and not just a flurry, not just a sprinkling, but full blown, up to your ankles, snow! I know by the standards of 1963 (probably years before you were born) its not very deep, but it is bad enough to cause disruption, accidents, broken legs! I can remember trying to get to school in knee deep snow, arriving to find that hardly anyone had turned up and being sent home again, arriving weary and frozen having been walking for the best part of two hours! I have just seen on the news that in parts of Cumbria they have it deep, snow drifts in some parts of up to 14ft deep according to the news broadcaster, so in comparison it is not bad down here, but ankle deep is enough to keep me in doors. I don`t know how a mobility scooter would handle in the snow to be quite honest, having never tried, but I don`t really fancy finding out! So the upshot of all this is that I am, like many other I daresay, stuck in the house and feel like I am in prison. I am afraid to walk incase I fall over, if I did fall I doubt I would get up. So I am pleading to the powers that be, whoever is in charge of the weather, please let Spring arrive soon and deliver us all from this dreadful weather then I would not feel so bad for having a mobility scooter and obviously changing the weather for the worst in the first place!!
So I`m sorry if this horrible weather is my fault!
