We live at the top of a hill, too Nilla. It was very difficult last year, as Katie was four months pregnant, and had to walk down our hill, and up the next very steep one to get to work. A couple of times she didn't go, as it was just too bad,and once or twice, her employer was able to pick her up.But we have a horrible corner coming into our street,you have to double back on yourself and then be ready immediately to turn the opposite way again(and the corner itself is downhill).Two cars last year smashed into a house on the corner,and had to be towed away. The Council didn't put grit down, although ours is one of the busiest streets in the town.
I love Autumn and Winter,even with all the difficulties with the weather.
