Snow joke!

Greetings All!

I know!  A bit of an old joke, but like they say, "the old ones are the best".  It is supposed to read 's no joke, or more correctly, it's no joke. 

But the point is, that we have been promised snow here in the UK in the middle of February!  Well near the middle, but in time for the old saw of "February fill-dyke is either black or white".  From my youth I remember this month being either rainy with fogs and really miserable or white with snow, and didn't your fingers hurt when they were thawing!?

As we are near the coast, we tend to have less of the cold extreems, but yesterday, as I ventured into town, where the sun had not shone there was quite a heavy frost on the ground, similar to this morning, but in the sun it was very pleasant and felt quite warm, given I was wrapped up in a winter coat.

More anon.  Regards...
