Parley Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I always feel sorry for the players playing the British Opne in some wind swept hell hole in Scotland. Rugged up like they are at the North Pole, when they are used to the beautiful US Golf Courses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some people don't feel the cold at all. My younger son doesn't own a coat and the heat doesn't bother him either. I've turned into a proper namby pamby. Most doesn't bother me that much here though I don't like when it's very cold and rainy. Edited November 3, 2017 by Toots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus1 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The correlation between UK winters and the interest in migration is always interesting. We find this to be the case on the forum as well. Below is the search traffic on Google from people in the UK searching for 'Moving to Australia'. Winter time and twice as many people in the UK are seemingly researching about moving to Australia / hotter climates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a disproportionate number of expat from the frozen North. I was in shorts and t-shirt at the National Motorcycle Museum Open Day yesterday.

VERYSTORMY Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Stunning Autumn day here in Scotland today. Cold and crisp but crystal blue skies. Just about to take the dog for a walk in the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I can persuade the kids to get dressed, that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a park in Hamiton with the dog. Just going to the local one this morning. The trees are all still covered in frost here and very pretty. Then home to cook Sunday lunch. A nice slow cooked lamb shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
