i have been so busy today, decided to do a mini spring clean,  my husband is already complaining that duvet is to hot so ive been sorting that out. Gone though my boys clothes and we be giving two bags away to charity. went under their beds, surprised I'm here to write this. i did put crampons and rope on i have done so much washing ive gone through a bottle of softner. stripped six beds. I always like to have a good tidy around this time of the year it always puts me in a better mind for the summer (don't worry i will be washing the bedsheets again before summer PROMISE) I feel like I'm ready for those wonderful warm sping summer days, long evenings sitting on the balcony having some wine. i enjoy the fact we can walk more and take the kids out doing things more.  i love the greenery on the trees, My son hates spring and summer because he is allergic to trees(yes i know very unusual)  he is allergic to oak, silverbirch, willow and loads more, we have two massive oaks right outside our house  bless him he is allergic to every thing and really does struggle with summer, hes on constant medication and needs steroids and inhales all the time. i am fed up with grey sky. could do with our lovely southern summers now

Wow, my youngest son suffers the same way in spring and summer.. His skin breaks out in yellowy spots, he gets wheezy, eyes swell up, nose blocks up and just like you,  we have to constantly give him drugs and creams. I feel so sorry for him he's such a handsome little boy when he clears up

I've an uncle who eats wood pigeon.. They're plumpy birds so I'd imagine it'd be quite a satisfying snack

no really should see a doctor

[Gowon]

Seriously though.. With all the drugs they pump animals with, I was thinking of becoming a veggie but I haven't yet because I love meat too much.

Aww bless you lassie I wish I could say to you soon but I think we have had our lollipop for this winter it's a matter of holding the stick and bashing it now lol ?. 

I felt like that today and was thinking back to this time last week, especially when I saw the leftover white patches in MK. Sad I know but hey that is llife the good things never last too long. 

Lets just look forward now, I am a storm lover as well and especially love the night time storms that come up from France after its been hot and humid. So my next phase of chasing will start in the next few months. 

At least we can look back at this winter and say it was memorable, I will certainly cherish the snow memories for a long time to come. 

Take care ????

even hail would do lol

[NO LONGER POSTING]

The quiet period after a cold spell eh? 

Even up to Friday we were doing 50+ pages a day or close too.. 

It just goes to show how many people at heart really do love snow! 

My attention now turns to 3 things, 

April showers (our first chance at a rumble of thunder or 2) 

Early warmth, usually by mid March 

And finally watching the heat slowly build to our south ready to tap into come late May early June.
