The Northerner's garden looks the better picture to me!

Snowing darn sarf. Not settling, (tm)

Unlike the immigrants

Snowing darn sarf. Not settling, and thankfully my neighbour has just returned from walking the Dog (tm)

UK weather sees up to four inches of snow fall in parts of Britain | Daily Mail Online

Loverly and sunny and dry here darn sarf. You can keep your snow, poverty and low house prices.

I don't see anyone complaining about it tbh. Maybe that's because;

1. We all have spare flat caps, so when one gets wet fetching coal we can put a dry one on.
2. We all have coats, and spare coats for our whippets.
3. Dray horses visit all pubs on a Thursday because all factories pay a cash pay packet on a Friday afternoon, so there will be beer to drink
4. Ferrets, whilst inconvenienced by >1 inch of snow, are happy enough up their owners trouser leg till it melts
5. We're not southern poofters living in overpriced rabbit hutches, obsessively pressing F5 on the Halifax House Price index to find out whether they've 'made' enough to pay for the train into the city next week.




Oh, and:
6. It's raining now and it's melting

Snow in winter shock! I assume the Mail has run out of Buzzfeed listicles to nick, and now has to pretend that "normal weather for the season" is news.

10 minutes ago it was sunny, raining, and snowing at the same time here in Devon. All calmed down now and just sunny. No condoms or chickens in my garden, so far as I know. There is a pheasant clearing up under the bird feeders though.

Now I know where our pheasant has gone. I think we scared him off on Christmas Day when he was on our bird table and we took some photos. He's camera shy apparently.

Snowing when I got up (at 8am, that commute to the home office is a killer ) but it didn't stick around for me to plan in a snowman making project task for this morning.

DP's children can play with his gold bars.

If they are really good, they get a tour of his BTL slums.

And he has promised one day they can go inside and laugh at the poverty of the immigrants inside them.

[BrilloPad]

We have gardens where our kids can play out in the snow though

No. Hawthorn (which I want to heavily prune this year), had a sycamore but took that down a few months ago. Bay tree, plum tree, wedding cake tree, 3x grafted pear & 4 apple trees.
Got an acacia which will go into the ground soon and a few olives, a lemon and a lime in pots (patio in summer, greenhouse in winter)

Whoa whoa whoa sweet child of mine. I didn't want your life story!

Do you have yew trees in your garden?

We have gardens darn sarf too, and condoms. My chickens are playing in the sunny garden.

Glad to hear that. Why don't you go play with the chickens while I help your wife?
