I love snow on Christmas cards , I could not say I miss freezing ,wet days , damp smelly clothes , overcoats etc though.
However the day you describe if it is dry and fresh then yes those days are great. Sydney had a hot one yesterday 33c , and more today . Summer is here and the shops are full of Christmas trees and reindeers , seems toatlly out of place in this climate . I used to miss the cold weather at Christmas but not any more . The old bones have grown accustomed to the warm climate and a glass or two of champers to wash down the prawns and lobster on Christmas day, sat out in the garden is preffered to huddling around a fire eating plum pud .

It has been cold, A Proud latics Supporter. I was on a train this morning and a little toddler was delighted to see a field of sheep covered with white frost though.
There was a bit of excitement too when the lightest sprinkling of snow fell mid-morning.

Replied: 1st Dec 2008 at 23:03
And how do you know that xrh? Did my horse whisper in your ear or something?
Plus I have to get there in the car at quarter to seven in the morning so if the conditions are bad it will make it all the more difficult to get to the farm. I have to go down quite a steep hill so don't fancy skidding on the way down (yes I am careful) and then don't fancy finding out I can't get back up the hill to get home and get my daughter to school.
It's not about the snow it's about being practical.

Love horses and snow.... Worst 'alf even has a rosette from the Berlin Riding Club. He came fourth but, bless him, he managed to stay on last before the horse bucked him off. Well done to yon mon 'cos most wouldn't look at another nag.
Replied: 1st Dec 2008 at 23:36
I'm just not sure how you are going to explain being innocently under the duvet with me while she is mucking out my horses stable!
Well I'd love to stop and chat but I'm off to climb the stairs with my little old mate (my dog, in case anyone thinks I've got a fella chained under the stairs) who likes to wrap himself round my feet and keep them warm in bed.
Unfortunately he's got terminal cancer and hasn't got long left in this world so every minute counts and all that.
Replied: 1st Dec 2008 at 23:38
I'm trying to think what colour a fourth rosette is. It's either green or yellow.
He keeps threatening to come and have a go on mine dizzy but I think he bottles out! You should come and have a go. He's a big soft sod my lad!

Ah dizzy, I'd like to say it isn't breaking my heart but I'd be lying. He didnt have the best start in life but found his way to me and for the last twelve years I could count on one hand how many times he has been ill.
He's been a cracking little dog and I can only do what's best for him. I've got a very good vet who I trust. He's a little soldier at the moment.
Night all!

xrh , Damp smelly clothes ,the last time I spent Christmas in the UK was 1997 . Everywhere I went , on the trains , the buses , shops , I encountered people with damp smelly clothes or maybe it was BO . In the pubs , in the Cinemas wherever I went . London , Manchester , Wigan , Burnley , York Harrogate , Oxford , Gloucester and Cheltenham . Clothes do tend to smell when wet and I noticed it . Things may have changed since then , but the damp , dark days and the freeezing cold did nothing for me . You are welcome to all the snow and fog and ice and of course rain does it ever stop .

And NO; I am not unemployed, or do I frequent the Moon Under Water as you seem to think. It's no laughing matter if you do happen to be one of the "unlucky" unemployed. Please don't pigeon-hole people or make silly assumptions.

Never suggested that you are unemployed or a frequent visitor to that drinking establishment.Nowt unlucky about the unemployed (Wiganers i may add) that i see around town drinking and smoking at my expense.Also one thing i never,ever, do is assume anything.Now like i have said either put me on ignore or back off and get on with your own posts.

Your bitter and aggressive tone comes to the fore yet again; pigeon-hole the working man as usual. My final analysis of you xrh, is that you're nothing more than a pompous, arrogant, and undermining snob.
I rest my case.
Replied: 2nd Dec 2008 at 14:02

Replied: 3rd Dec 2008 at 00:00
Clash of personalities in my opinion Granada, nothing else.
Like yourself I've known xrh for some time and have a lot of respect for the fellow.
Seems to me they both just need to ignore each other and get on with it. Although maybe one of the parties involved needs to ignore more than the other if that makes sense.
