Our posts crossed there pd. You're right about whiteouts. Part of the challenge for humans of course, but my ex and me freely admitted to being cowards. Slightest hint of anything dodgy ahead and we'd always have turned back, although a whiteout can come out of nowhere. It's why our hills are not to be taken lightly. Doesn't matter how experienced or how prepared you are either, nature has a way of making us very small and vulnerable. A climber lost his life last year in Skye - he was a member of the rescue team and had decades of experience walking and working there.
That's trouble with rain here- someone forgets to turn the tap off.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My eldest son has just got home after 2 1/2 hours delivering Nisa leaflets as part of his new job, soaked through and frozen......hot chocolate made and now in the shower warming up!! Great start to the job
Off to the gym soon to work off the wine and pizza excesses of the weekend so far!!
Just a quickie as we're off out to lunch - just heard from son - not only lightening strikes yesterday, but most of the damage was caused by a tornado - the police have tracked it's route across the town!!!!!!
And I've spoken toThe Lovely Home - Ma is much more settled this morning - thank goodness and thanks for the brilliant carers - they really are worth their weight in gold xxx
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Morning all some weather just looked out my back window and seen two dolphins go by lol some water about out there. Going out now to start of my Begonia tubers in trays for the spring my sweet peas are now through but no doubt still got real hard winter weather to come yet hope am wrong.
Thanks for the explanation Fairy. I'm being nosey what is the extension for? Oh & by the way I guess the wand can't stop rain
PunkD was totally appropriate if that is what what you wanted to share and get off your chest. As you say vile outside. Furthest I'm going is the garage. How is the pelvis doing?
Hi Verdun, Lily and Tracey, and I'd better shout loud to Chicky if she's in her GH.
The rain's gone off - hurray! Best not shout or it'll come back on....
Kef- extension is a bedroom (for me) and a shower room as it's only a teeny weeny house with two bedrooms and I bought it because there was room to extend. Better resale value when I move again.... The 3 bed houses round here are really 2 and a half .
Fine if you're all hobbits ....
Hope you're keeping better now Andy. You worry us when you're unwell you know.

Just nipped outside and I wish I hadn't. The veg' bed is now flooded. If I didn't have some calls to make a pork dinner to cook I'd go back to bed and sulk.

Sorry about that I am not sure that was really an appropriate thing to be posting.
