Not much snow in the bottom end of the Staffordshire Moorlands, been waiting for a phone call all night to go gritting, but not rang yet :p
Hows about that for cursing myself, not 10 minutes after posting, I was called out :angry:

But then again it triple time for the first hour, and 4 hours time in lieu, so not all bad.


Been a horrible wind today, swirling all over the shop, blowing the smoke off the fire seemingly right down my throat.

ridiculous start to year tony, not looking like a great week temperature wise this week either. luckily got a job oxford way, but wrexham is under 18 inches of snow in parts, and more expected!

We've had nothing in central Scotland, up north yes but nothing like you lads are getting down south. Just think this time last year there was a heat wave.

Yeah i would think so steve, its giving it to get a bit warmer, not much, but hopefully enough!!
I read somewhere that an ole farmer type fella had predicted this winter to be particularly bad, i think he based it on some sort of cycle system?? not sure what but i think the jist of it was that this year would be the same as one say 25 or 35 yrs ago? I cant remenber what year he was saying it would replicate!!

its starting to look good steve, the stone is top notch too. many thanks!

and thanks for your words tony!
