Children have fun on to their way to school at Great Tew in 1978
AT THIS time of year, we can usually expect to have had at least one fall of snow – and that was certainly the case in 1978.
It didn’t snow at Christmas, but by early January, large parts of Oxfordshire were covered.
As usual, it proved a nuisance to motorists, but not to these children at Great Tew, near Chipping Norton – pictured – who had some seasonal fun on the way to school.
