  It may be that the truth of, "You learn something new every day." is passed debate, but how often does a moment of one's day prove to be an utter revelation?
  
  Last thing last night (Sunday) is the normal time for we to put our recycling box out. We recently learned that the contract for this service does not run to the climbing of stairs, so the box has to be taken down to pavement level.
  It just so happened that last night I was naked (from the ankles down). What to do, as there was snow?
  And here's the thing. We must all be aware of the effect that some odours have on our minds. The merest whiff can whisk us back to another time and place and set before our mind, in the greatest/minutest detail, a whole panoply of memories.
  Off I trot with my box across the slippery and crunchy part-trampled snow. Not one single iota of recollection of ever experiencing this before came to my mind. I could easily have been venturing out across Mars or the Moon. Or rather more fancifully, striding out over water. The sheer novelty of this drives me to encourage each to have a go...you've tried;grass, sand and the warm limestone flag. Make your life complete, feel snow between your toes.
