I hope you all get a decent summer to make up for it

Certainly has been perishing up here, first time I have worn a scarf and gloves everyday during the winter.....
Cannot wait for the summer.....

Re: Coldest winter

I'm sure that doesn't surprise our Scottish members!

Re: Coldest winter

It don't surprise me, . . many mornings I have looked at the outside thermometer and it's read -10, . . the coldest was -12 in our garden.

Re: Coldest winter

Looks like we really must stop saying 'Global Warming' and instead say 'Climate Change'

Re: Coldest winter

Got that right, DM!!

Re: Coldest winter

Yeah, . . it been the weather for sgian dubh's, . . (pronounced skian doos) . . . . those are pigeons with skis on.

PS: a sgian dubh is a small dagger tucked into the top of your socks in Highland dress.

I love the first description [shouldn't that be 'doves'-lol] -I am transferring my savings of £27.50 to invest in Damart shares!

Re: Coldest winter

We call them doos up here Chris,

This song is sung to the tune " Dixie ",

Ah wish ah was a pigeon, . . ah doo, ah doo,
Ah wish ah was a pigeon, . . ah doo, ah doo, ah doo.

Re: Coldest winter

Sounds more like :Camptown Races" than "Dixie" to me .....
