I had a dream........
(Preview)
I sat in my lounge, no tv, no radio, nothing, all I could hear was the wind blowing and bird noises, no train horns, no vibration of HGVs, no fast cars, it was tranquility. I woke up today with all the noise back again, did I dream it all ? I want snow all year round.
