      I've got a white bed sheet and a tea-towell so I could try to join the back of the queue of Druids and Bards as they walk into the stone circle.
      Having said that nothing is the same any more. The stones are now made out of Fiberglas. Ho Hum!

        Unfortunately, alot of these sayings held true at one time but with the advent of spring getting earlier and winter being non-existent in parts of the UK e.g. rain and cold but still mild (we have averaged between 4-10 here during the day and -2 at night compared to 6 years ago, where we averaged 4-6 and -8 at night). Maybe we should come up with our own sayings:

        Red sky at night, chemical plant leaking again.
        Red sky at morning, fuel depot exploded.
        Willow leaf showing it's belly, deforestation
        Otter plays in the brook, high on chemical plant (see first one).

        Today, I appear to be in a black mood...
        Best wishes

          As well as knowing the traditional running we used to say

            Or red sky at night....Shepherds house on fire!

            My dad always told me if I chopped a worm whist digging it would rain? God knows why!!!

            I was brought up in Consett which was renowned for it's industrial 'Red dust' cloud. It wasn't until I left Consett that I realised cauliflowers were not supposed to be pink!

                    It will be dry between the showers

                    Works for me
                    There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

                      This explains why every bloke from Consett I've ever met was called Rusty.

                                my pa says, if there's fog in't valley, it'll be raining in't village.
                                allways true, mind you the fog is usually the rain clouds, live on a mountain my folks.

                                give all you can
                                and your produce will be bountifull
