It's a good job we are considering moving to Scotland or the Isles.
Minus 5 degrees here with worse to come. The wind is bitingly cold, burns any exposed skin. We are out in the sticks and totally exposed to the wind from Siberia.
I'm looking forward to Scottish winters.

Hah! You might get the same oop north Gordon :)
Cold? Yer arse! :ner:
Nice and mild here today in Wrexham: 8°C, cloudy but dry. Off out in mo for my daily (now 5-mile) brisk walk! :cool:

We have been looking at the weather oop thur with some interest as you can imagine. Neither of us minds the cold too much and appreciate that going that far north is hardly likely to help! However, the main reason for going is the summer. It's just too damn hot down here. All the food we grow is based on a Brit diet and a lot of it is starting to suffer, especially the fruit. Really bad year and almost no jam made except from supermarket stuff which is severely lacking in flavour.
We want to continue growing our own food when we move. Orkney is doing quite well at the mo, looks nice. We just need a couple of acres and some room for a slot track for me and a short mat bowls area for Ronnie. She's the gardner too and a nice lack of grass would be good so I don't have to keep up that side of our agreement!
Have to finish the house here first, up to my eyes in sawdust today, doing partitions up in the attic so we can pretend it's a 4 to 5 bedroom house!

Not gonna happen matey . I haven't got any pictures of myself , they were just too scary :lol:
Minus 9 here this morning, and a light scrape of the windscreen was required.
It's a tad chilly, but not as cold as I have known it here. :wheniwasaboy:

They don't take any of me, they don't come out, there's just a faint misty blur. I don't reflect in mirrors either :eek:.

If you don't like the heat you want to move here. We had one properly hot day last year. Some years we don't get any. Cheap houses compared to the rest of UK too. I bet you could buy half my street for what your French place is worth. We could be neighbours. :)
Not exactly Skye though is it? ;)

Orkney's very nice but the capital, Kirkwall, can be well dodgy on a Fri or Sat night! Unless you consider rampaging gangs of drunken yobs a plus point of course...

Minus 5 here.
And I'll raise you a bit...!! minus 6 right now and the thermometer says it was minus 9 last night some time! Even colder tomorrow according to Meteo. Fire already lit in the front room, don't normally need it until the evening.
Sunny Scotland beckons:)
It was minus 9 yesterday morning. It is supposed to be warming up here tomorrow, with a mere minus 1 forecast.

Not quite sunbathing weather yet mate . We rarely see the sun up here this time of year :D
Peely wally is my normal state , I normally resemble a bottle of milk , and it's stating that way . When the sun comes out I hide from it :lol:
