He wants to join the army when he is older, I think he will do just fine
Oh Anne you need to come to Suffolk! Its STILL snowing, blizzard conditions now which mean we can't go anywhere! Its been 3 days, some places have lost power. The people we've seen venturing out look ready for an expedition inc skies and sledges!

We used to do that when we were kids. I had a brother and sister, we got the two kids from next door to join us then we used to have a battle against the family with five kids up the road. It was great, like a half built igloo to hide behind. I was the youngest so it was my job to keep the ammo coming

No snow here, just rain now.

feeling for you Wayne I really am! 28 degrees in the early hours of the monring isn't my idea of fun! Now sitting in front of a roaring fire with a warm beer in a glass (not a bottle) is fun! Switch the air con on!!!!

Haven't got aircon here. No need for it at only28C It was 36C in the living room when I came home from work. I just open all the doors and windows and let the breeze blow through

bloody hell! I've already brought a portable air con unit to bring over with us 'just in case'! Will miss the UK. Glad we've had a good traditional christmas and its snowed tho. Everywhere looks so pretty! I think its good to leave a place on a high, rather than hating a country

Totally agree. I always said I wasn't leaving the UK because I hated it, I just wanted something different. We left after a glorious start to the summer in June / July. Mind you, it was 22-24C when we got here at the end of July and we were getting looks and comments for wearing shorts

I do have a portable cooler running, along with 4 fans in the house BTW

Last couple of days it's been as white as a sheet here in Dundee. Too good to last as today the rain came down and it's slush all the way.

Cheers

This is so true and typical of the great (lack of) planning abilities of the Great British powers that be

Same here, Bev. Still, we've had three glorious days of lovely thick white snow (made all the better by the fact that we've not had to go out the housel) but have woken up this morning to find it pouring with rain, and snow virtually gone. Boo-hoo
