... it has been snowing here,in Ger, France, for the last 15 hours. It is now over a foot deep and the chill factor is about -5C. Too much to get to the workshop even. Just have to make another cup of tea I guess.
Do we need to arrange a "Tea and Tiffin" drop? Or maybe a C47 with a soup kitchen and hot muffins? Just need to send the cargomaster the relevant co-ordinates, you will not even need to mark the DZ.

Oi the overseas Aid budget in tea and Tiffin has been with drawn and been amalgamated into the standing BLUE colonels tea and Tiffin rations, you will have to send GREEN tea and a mop.

......31C already, we're heading for 39C today. Thats not especially hot for these parts but quite unusual for March....

Never known it like that in March - the fenland wind howls across Whitemoor sidings and straight through the motive power depot. The odd calm day never reaches those temperatures.


What?

Just sometimes we might feel sorry for those who paint a glowing picture of an ex-pat's life in sunny France. This photo was received today from one of our brethren who lives in the Quiet Quarter... currently wondering how to lay the table for a lunch of Camembert and Wine in the artic conditions.

I understand that there was 35 cms of white stuff in the last 24 hours, what happened to spring time?

Sorry I don't see any problem with that, that table makes perfect beer and wine chiller. It looks about the right height to cover the bottles.:thumbs:

Gorgeous sunshine here in mid Wales, I've been planting roses at the top of the drive this morning.

Mmmm its started to sleet/snow here now:headbang:. If we have a wet summer as bad as last year i may well emigrate:rolleyes:
Sod that Rob, I'll just be building a lean too on the side of the garage and having an outdoor, undercover narrow gauge estate railway instead. Or I might buy a marquee and just cover the whole garden :D
