Guest Sheerluck Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Just had a picture message from my older sister who lives in the wilds of Suffolk, with a piccie of my 4 year old niece calf deep in snow, building a snowman that's twice as tall as she is, and the words were "Do you know what you're missing?" Funny thing is I'M NOT MISSING IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! ***goes and gets another cold beer out of the fridge*** Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MariAndyok Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Zoe, I haven't lived in Dav for 22 years. I only miss the people. I think if I lived there as a kid now I would miss the outdoor swimming pool, the cinema and the youth club, especially rollerskating on a friday night. Has the outdoor pitch and put gone yet. Luckily there are still lots of benches for the kids to drink on and an over priced leisure centre. Kids need affordable activities to keep them out of trouble. We used to spend the whole of the summer in the outdoor pool. From what I have seen it has been over developed and the resources have been cut. Your other half is right, York is a a better place to live and has some great schools, shame about the weather. what school do you teach at? I haven't been to Oz and am not expecting it to be all roses but am hoping it will be better than York and a lot better than Dav.

Guest MariAndyok Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello Zoe, Yes I am counting on the 25 points, my english isn't too bad and have seen the test. I think the 176 sponsor will be the way. I am at present applying for TRA review, my skill is only 60 point SOL and I have found a posible 60 point MODL which will give me extra 15 points. Thanks for your help though.:spinny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dave&donna Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We've woken up for the past 2 days to a few cms of snow but turning quickly to slush when the sun comes out to a HIGH 3 degrees !!!! We went for a bike ride today but the boys went through every puddle (as boys know how to) and what started out as a lovely ride turned into freezing cold children who had to strip off in the back of the car before they got icicles on their dangly bits (trousers)! and chillblains on their toes...... the joy of the great outdoors here - don't think we'll miss that.

Guest YellowGecko Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I MISS THE SNOW!!! I know, I know! You've all had a long, drawn out, miserably cold and wet winter and are sweet talking your daffs to spring up and praying for warmer sunshine.. and here I am, in sunny Queensland, not a cloud in the sky.. with the warm sun rays beating down.. But I actually MISS the English weather! Had my family and friends tell me about how fab the snow is, over Easter, and am slightly envious of them and wishing I could be there too! OH's never experienced snow before and cannot wait til next winter in England, so that he can see it for himself. :jiggy: Jo. Mrs YG. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 7gotooz Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi - We had a covering in W London yesterday morning - I took the kids & the dog for a very cold walk in it - up to my miniture dalmations knees on the fields & she was worringly well camoflaged in it - we would have lost her if it had been deeper.
