We had 5 inches of snow in one day on the island - a record. I don't do snow; nor do I do knitting so perhaps Scotland not the place for me.

But now after hearing the international weather reports on tv and then reading an actual account from you, I know that it would take me another 7, at least, to become accustomed to ice on the inside of windows.

Though up in the North here, we think that at some point Britain should perhaps wake up and realise what latitude they are on and prepare for the fact that it does snow almost every winter.. :opImmodesty Blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043602972951035738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-81568633301703658172010-12-08T10:32:14.979+01:002010-12-08T10:32:14.979+01:00I'm a bit worried about our boiler too!

I just love it when you include pics of your current projects. It must be a grand feeling to complete a project as lovely as the one you've shown us!

I am useless and putting colours together!<br /><br />A friend of mine flew to Glasgow to see her father (we're Canadian) and it took her two days to get a bus to travel three miles to his house from the airport! She said she's never seen such chaos!<br /><br />We get a lot of snow but for some reason seem better equipped to handle it. I think our roads are wider and straighter too. Not anywhere near as pretty but practical.ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380296569508243613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-87543838928350740812010-12-07T22:00:17.166+01:002010-12-07T22:00:17.166+01:00Hope the boiler got mended Jenny!!!
