And here we are, the first one this season...
If anything else, you get lovely views at times from those webcams. And for us in the South, no matter how cold and miserable we can feel, it's quite comforting to see that it's worse elsewhere!

The voice of reason...Thank you Pierre. Mind you, Carshalton is a charming young man, full of enthusiasm for: 1) sailing (I do enthuse back, within the realm of my limited knowledge) 2) football (I don't enthuse at all... 22 sporty young men disputing the ONE ball, it's beyond my understanding) 3)............. no... I won't say......... He's also a Southerner, living in superb oblivion for anything happening North of....... Watford Gap?? It's not that he doesn't want to know, it's just that he's never been given the right Edyukashun! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

A new sub-species of haggis has appeared in Gleneagles this morning! Do you think they might be mutating?

I wasn't cheating, there are braces of haggii crossing Gleneagles greens in the pale Northern light of a chilly December morning... It was a real-life "Discovery Channel" image! Now, THAT IS cheating!
