Weather winter 2010/2011

[Anthony Darby]

Isn't there a certain pet shop in Bolton, or was it a similar one in Notlob?

[Tony Willis]

No snow in Chorley. Only another day and I bet most people will start blaming the Government for the weather.

Why not? They're making a hash of everything else!

Perhaps it might be better elsewhere in some far of never never land,some of us think things are okay here.

Blizzard here now,spoke to soon.

I hope so. That's why we are going!

I wasn't sure where to shove these pics?  So here are a few snowy snaps from frozen Kent.

(All summer I have been thinking my neighbours new cat Bowie (one blue eye one brown eye) had a pure white coat - but now compared to the snow she looks like she needs a good wash!).  Also Brutus and Neptune with a light dusting.

I always thought Brutus was a bit of an egghead!

Arctic wind today although only just beginning to refreeze tonight in South West UK. Birds are becoming frantic in seach for food.

Robin the minute I open my front door the blackbirds are there before I give them there food. Bought more feeders yesterday. I feel so sorry for these tiny we things.

They're playing on your emotions   We have them up here all winter and they survive largely on wild food at this time of year and much lower temperatures. However, yours may well have lost the ability to find wild food....  Blackbirds are much less sociable birds up here in Scandinavia, very shy, only coming into gardens when they have to...

[angie]

Yep, I am a big softie when it comes to my wee friends.

I'm confused. Are you in the UK now? Are the mountains your summer home?

[Mick McLoughlin]

1/Thank goodness I put the cover over the mini gardens at the weekend.
2/The raised beds a little more raised than usual.
