Morning just a few snow flurries here nothing much settling, of shopping with my trolley it's quicker than getting there by car.

Mornin n'alln'all

Tis February!!!!!!!

The month of pancakes and Valentines

Still about 8 cm of slushy snow in the fields but finally clearing from the roads.
Did you know...when there is a certain amount of snow in France ( not quite sure of the amount) trucks are banned from the roads???
That probably accounts for the reckless driving of trucks at high speed when we got off the ferry...clearly wanted to reach their destination before being stopped?

Last bit of unpacking for me today, then some much needed ironing...yup ...that dreaded 'I' word

See ya later peeps...keep warm and safe

Morning no snow for us just another hard frost, sun shining, that's two days on the trot, must be a record.

[bramble]

Good morning all.
Cold and dry with 2 deg temp.
Off out to walk to the library while it's still dry.
Have a good day and stay safe and warm.

Evening All Snowing here but lightly, hope it stays that way.

Evening all, Snoop, yes the fieldfare is a bonnie birdie but today, our visitor showed it has an aggressive streak and chased our resident cock blackie out of the garden. I'd put some suet pellets out for it where it was feeding yesterday but I'm maybe going to regret that if it turns out to be a thug.

Weatherwise, it wasn't warmer than yesterday, just less cold as the frost continues to dig in. We had a wee snowshower this forenoon but nothing more so far but snow forecast for around midnight .

Got my car back with its new MOT. Interestingly, the garage didn't treat my defective tyre as a fail but gave it as an advisory. New tyre fitted anyway and with snow on the roads I have absolutely no argument. Much better taking the safe option.

After escaping with a lighter mot bill than I expected I treated her ladyship to lunch at the localish garden centre. Their macaroni cheese is lovely. supper tonight was tea and a biscuit. nuff said

Morning bit more snow yesterday evening but luckily it's not really settling.
Stay safe and warm.

Morning All

-1.5° with about 8" of snow....of over the plots to clear the tunnels again. Police have closed roads and no public transport so it looks like I am walking.

Stay warm and safe all

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!
1.5C this morning, but a cold North wind, so Mollycat turned round and came straight back in,ad up the stairs - much nicer under the blankets isn't it. LOL
I feel like it's a baking day but I shouldn't really because I'll only eat it all....

Have a good'un whatever you're up to, and stay safe if you're snowy.

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all
Heavy rain in the night has melted most of the snow.
Was pretty whilst it lasted but dangerous on unsalted roads.
Sounds like we got the melted version of what you got GL!

More domestics for me today....see ya later peeps!
Keep safe!

[bramble]

Good morning all.
Beautiful clear sunny morning here and not a cloud in the sky.
O degs so it's a cold one.
Hope to get out to play pitch and putt later.
Have a good day all and stay safe and warm.

[Snoop Puss]

No snow here. Take care, GL. The hazards here today will be flying branches. Winds of up to 100 kph forecast, and I can believe it. It's the windiest day yet. We were due to pick up Mr Snoop's car from the mechanic's today, but I've said no. It'll have to wait till Monday.

I'm staying indoors today. Can always get through some work to give me head start on the week. Get me some gardening done then, when conditions are a bit better outdoors.

Have a great weekend everyone, whatever the weather does.

[Florence Fennel]

Hello Bright sunshine but a bit breezy and very cold. Have a good day

[Aberdeenplotter]

Evening all, a couple of inches plus of snow last night so first job after breakfast today was clearing the paths and the driveway. Then it was clear the cars then water the growing stuff then feed the birds(2 Fieldfares now and they are scrapping with each other) and then back inside for a coffee. Sheesh I'm kn.......ermhh tired just reading that. Lovely clear day though and our football team got the right result. What's not to like about a day like that?
