Ams's cold front just slice through here - for 3 minutes the weather went totally bananas. I note the temperature dropped from 6.5 to 3 C. Sky's brightening to the north now, but no proper clearance is forecasted, so I hope you've booked that taxi, Cali!Originally posted by Caliban View PostComment

Same weather here too, grey and rsiny this morning, around 10.30 the heavens suddenly opened, (but no hail) with strong gusts of wind and temp dropped from 6° to 4° then around 1.30 it had all cleared to blue sky and sun and temp back up. However, it's starting to cloud up now and dropped back to just above 4° but at least the sleet we were promised didn't materialise.
(I had a look at Yorkshire Tea at lunchtime - they have 4 different varieties, which one should I try?)Comment

It is definitely not the weather here for trying out my new kilt, of which I took delivery the other week.Comment

How Exciting! I love kilts. Is it for a special occasion or just for everyday wear? Which tartan?Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment

For formal and semi-formal occasions! Neicely weddings etc. coming up, so rather than hire boring old full soup and fish as Bertie W would say I thought it was time to reclaim my Highland ancestry! I've been working on the family tree, and so far the MacDonell of Glengarry line goes back to my 4xgreat grandfather David MacDonell who was a contemporary of this guy, the 15th chief. This is the very tartan, in the portrait, though modern dyes are quite a bit brighter. David fought in the Peninsula War under Wellington, and went on (as did a few other vets) to coach the Mexican army during the 1820s and 30s (i.e. during the war with Texas
).

That's really interesting, to find an ancestor filled with derring-do and a scoundrel to boot!!

Just the basic Yorkshire Tea is all you will ever need.Originally posted by Anna View Post
We had a beautiful morning in South Yorkshire with a clear blue sky, although it felt very cold. Miserable and wet now, and I still have to dog-walk
Btw, did anyone catch what was the short piece of string chamber music Suzy played on In Tune straight after Morning from Grimes?Pacta sunt servanda !!!Comment

Partly depends on yer water, ducky. Here, the water is distinctly hard, so I use this one:Originally posted by Anna View Post

Ah, thanks Cali. I live in a very hard water area. But I saw it was far more expensive than normal Yorkshire tea bags ..... and, why do you need to use two bags per mug, is it weaker?Originally posted by Caliban View PostPartly depends on yer water, ducky.

No, it's good stuff with one bag - but sometimes a chap (or chapess) needs something stronger, and pronto!Originally posted by Anna View Post
