"Snowflakes fell; soft, white, cold and fluffy. The flakes drifted slowly down through the still air to settle on the silent, flat stones of the Edge. The red sandstone escarpment was gradually being carpeted in a white blanket of snow. Under the heavy grey sky whirling flakes swirled round and smothered Thieves Point, Stormy Point and the Wizard’s Well. "
