Well, I never! How delightful! At least if the weather turns our climate around completely, it is a comfort to know that there are other exciting things I can begin to grow! 8)

Hans, at the very top of your pictures there is something coloured a lovely shade of blue. What is this please? ;D

No not the solar cell Hans. I got someone else to look at the pictures and they told me, very reliably, that the blue is the sky. I thought all sky was  coloured grey! ::)

Huh! Sunshine, South American cocktails and music......( I don't smoke cigars, or I'd cite that as well)...this is not what I want to hear when I am sitting here in cold wet and very gray Aberdeen, thinking thata thick coat and gloves is the best way to go to avoid freezing at the computer.... :'(
I am utterly envious, I can tell you!

Weather forecast in Scotland is easy and reliable: if you can see the hills it's going to rain; if you can't see the hills it's already raining. ::)

The council in Aberdeen is a useless bunch, with officials that are yet more useless... the city has a shortfall of 50million pounds in their budget... we don't know what day it is , half the time :-X I think Hans may be right with his suggestion of cost saving measures!! 8)

Also, we can't see any hills from Aberdeen, Hans!!
