Spring At Last...

[icecreamicecream]

Looking out the window just now,approximately 2 inches of snow outside.

[bookbinder]

Where are you icecreamicecream?

[jourdain2]

'Ah! The snowdrops have appeared at last,' you smiled to yourself. Sweet..

[jourdain2]

Up in N-E Scotland, I believe, bookbinder.

[icecreamicecream]

At present a wee place called Mulben,not far from Keith,

[Svejk]

Who's Keith ? It's beautiful, again, in S.Wales.

[bookbinder]

Global warming! Isn't it wonderful?

[icecreamicecream]

Keith,as in the place-name,Svejk....and as they say up here"its still dinging doon"

[ummmm]

And this is news?

[icecreamicecream]

Even up here in the N_E of Scotland it sure is,ummmmm.

[bookbinder]

In Mulben, this could well count as big news, ummmm!

[Gizmonster]

Nice and sunny here in East Lancs .... but I've seen the forecast for next week .... and it's not good lol :(

[Svejk]

Ummmm's pushing for a modship. Just between us, she's wasting her time.

[icecreamicecream]

Thanks for the sarcasm,Booky,but I don't think its only Mulben.....We usually have a few hailstorms now and again at this time of year,but never lying snow.

[bookbinder]

No offence meant, icecreamicecream, but what are the summers like?

[icecreamicecream]

Shes no chance,Svejk...her views are just a little too right-wing compared to Mao Zedung.(sarcasm)

[icecreamicecream]

Some of our summers are beautiful,booky.We are on the gulf-stream from the carribean after all.But today is the first time I have seen snow lying at the end of april,and I have been living up here since 1960.

Had hailstanes here in Dundee earlier, but sunny once again though cold. Wish the weather would make up its mind. Planned a day in the garden but only managed to plant up a couple of hanging baskets before I retreated to the kitchen for a cuppa. Know Keith well - hubby came from New Pitsligo so know most of the NE of Scotland.

[bookbinder]

If it's not too personal, [can I call you ice, for short?] what drew you to Mulben, in the first place? Were you born there? Did you move there from somewhere else? If it is a personal question, please give an appropriate reply!

[maggiebee]

My niece has just sent me a photo - the A947 just south of Turriff this afternoon! Must be a couple of inches of snow in NE Scotland.

Thank you for asking,Booky.I live in Aberdeen at the moment,but have quite a few friends and relatives in the Keith/Mulben area.Why do you ask?
