so it's warm then?

description of the weather in a Terry Brooks novel (condensed)
'it was bitterly cold that day, so cold the wind grappled with the companions cloaks like a dead man fingers entwined in the weeds at the bottom of a frigid lake, it was very cold, the wind howled and moaned and there was mist dank, soulless mist, which was also cold. It was so cold in fact the warmth of the sun could not break through the ice laden clouds,which hung heavily over the barren horizon. It was very, very cold. The frozen landscape only served to enhance the coldness, which wrapped it icy grip around the cold companions......who shivered..........cos it was cold.
Did I mentioned how cold it was?'




One more book for the recommendations 'The English Harem' by Anthony McCarten. V.entertaining. If I were to compare it to a television show it would be Eastenders crossed with Upstairs, Downstairs and liberally sprinkled with Desperate Housewives.
sort of
