ramot Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I remember those awful fireworks I think called jumping jacks? They went everywhere. Idiots used to light them and throw them near people, I remember being terrified of them, I loathed home bonfire nights and used to hide indoors and watch from the safety of the window.

bristolman Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Well this weather is still confusing, we had a few frosts in the last couple of weeks but again back to very mild, lovely blue sky today.. Still don't need to get the long trousers out just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lashing with rain and flooding. It's 5 degrees and drizzling in Edinburgh according to my sister so you are lucky where you live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking our boys into college today and my eldest said the weather shouldn't be like this, it's winter lol. It's not 'our little area' to be fair, it's just not the North.

Yes, we are lucky for many reasons not least of which is the fact that we don't have Northern weather lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 We had snow this morning, it settled on the hills but not in the valley where our village is. It was pretty cold, about -1° when I took the kids to school, but it was fine as we wrapped up warm. We have bright blue sky now. Gorgeous! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very similar to where we are, we often see snow on the hills across in Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapri Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 This thread has made me laugh Of course the UK has some good weather, but it's not generally known for it. I much prefer the weather here in NSW. I expect sunshine and it's odd to see grey skies. Its not that the UK has severe weather, it's more the heavy, low grey sky and dreariness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
