?Deep roots are not reached by frost.?

Quote by JRR Tolkien

The weather seems to have a been a mixed bag lately. It was very nice at the weekend and then back to being frosty today.

I might even be getting used to my walk up the hill to the bus stop.
It seems the best strategy at the moment is to take my time and enjoy the sunrise.

Unfortunately, this is not a good strategy when it comes to adding precious minutes onto my flexi-time.

An earlier departure tomorrow methinks...

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
? J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
