Title: British Summer Time....not!
Post by: Toky on March 30, 2010, 22:34:40 PM
3 days into summertime, I went to visit family who are spending 4 days at Craig Tara( former Butlins) at Ayr. OMG, we drove through such heavy snow to get there. When we arrived, the park was mobbed. It was  full of people, miserable with the frezing cold, winds and driving rain all around them. Winter is back with a vengeance. Good old Scotland!

:D

Snow and high winds equals blizzards with in Aberdeenshire.  We have had 3 power cuts this morning.  I cannot believe just how bad the weather has been the last few months.. Roll on holidays in Calis.

No warmer in Hampshire I'm afraid to say we are just in from school and I have put the heating on. It is windy and cold.:(

Oh Stoop you'll love Jersey Boys! It's fabulous! :D

I'm headed to Scotland on friday to see some of the family, mostly in Airdrie. Anyone know if there's snow there?

Tddleywinks, just watching the Scottish news and most of Lanarkshire has had heavy snow, so snow is likely to have fallen in Airdrie. We have a lovely sunny evening here in Helensurgh, but half an hour away, there are roads closed due to snow. We are going to our caravan at Fintry at weekend (maybe), but earlier radio news said road is closed between Fintry and Lennoxtown due to snow!!! Too early to put my skis away by the looks things. :D
