cany beat a good bit of scottish weather


....Which is why I'm so glad I moved to the sunny SouthWest instead of Scotland when I retired from London. Did seriously consider Scotland as it's so beautiful but it's far too remote for my needs.

Went for a little walk this morning and took the camera with me..

Bacl street where I normaly park..



Main front street through the village.



One of the three exits out of the village.



Another of the exits.



You can see where I've had to abandon my car (first car on the right).



And a few random shots from the walk in the wooded plantation.

Ah well, you'll just have to cuddle up to Cheryl for a bit longer   :evilgrin:

Now if it were me I wouldn' park my car there bit more snow and ice and cars coming down that slope have a good chance of hitting you while turning that bend.

^Whats wrong with that road, i see tarmac so it will be fine. :evilgrin:  :P
It has cleared up alot since this morning, it was not fun earlier in the day when fully covered.

I managed to get to work a 16mile trip  too the far side of Newcastle at 6:30 this morning. Was an interesting trip i would not have tempted in the mk6 due to the road surface still been well covered and very slippy.

Freezing fog on the way back at 3PM was not fun either, but i left early rather than at rushhour so not to get stuck behind the townies and southeners for 2 hours while they fail at driving  :P
Most people i work with from round were i live did not make it in, infact only a few did. Even the woman with the 4x4 mitsubishi pickup from the coast only made it in at 1PM  :grin:

Its the lightening thats getting me. It blinded me coming down lobley hill bank this morning and i could not see for about 5 seconds was scary moment because its so bright.

There is  a foot and a half of snow outside the house at the moment so getting to the main road tomorrow morning will be fun.. As i simply booted it in from the main road tonight.
