... I always keep my cap, gloves and warm waterproof top in the boot of the car so I was mystified that the gloves were nowhere to be seen. I was going to really need them because there was a biting wind. With my tripod under my arm and hands stuffed in my pockets I trudged upwards through deep snow until I reached my first location and with freezing fingers I set up the tripod and sorted out my shot, there was no waiting for the light - the sun was nowhere to be seen.
The shot taken and the camera back in the bag I noticed a bulge in one of the side pockets. My gloves! Thank goodness! ...
