Holiday Day 16: The last holiday walk

So, the end of two weeks!  Gone too quickly of course and I still have loads to do, but it's been a good time.  The boots got another airing today as the tiny amount of snow had frozen overnight and the paths were slippery, although things were starting to thaw when I left the house.  I'll freely admit that I'm a coward about walking in icy conditions, so despite the promise of non-slip soles I still teetered along nervously.  Footsteps behind me:  a friend from down the road striding out in ordinary shoes and overtaking me as  she sped to church to get the coffee on.  Heigh ho!  warm boots but not magic ones I guess.  I continued my careful way until I too arrived at church.  After service, the paths were completely clear in places that the sun had reached but I think some of the ice will linger to haunt me tomorrow as I make my way to work.
