    some people dont know when not to spend the night in the car, in short he had to be threatened with detention to come back to the relief centre....

    and as for the bloke that contravened the road closed signs because he fancied a bit of rumpy pumpy..after he had been rescued from 30 ft snowdrifts, he was given 3 points and a fine...the most pricey assignation he never had

    Well this is my home, still I suppose if the floods get too bad I can sail to the supermarket and 'park' her in the car park..

    This land of ours is a strange place. Today it is warm and sunny here, with a few fluffy clouds in a clear blue sky. On deck out of the breeze in the sunshine it shows 12 degrees Celcius, while just 50 miles away farms are under 5 feet of water and further North snow is causing problems.

    Its blowing a right gale down here in Cornwall this evening. Lights are flickering and going out all over the place. Trees are down and its gusting at 85mph.

    Storm lantern is in the kitchen at the ready !!.

    snow on the welsh hills here can see across to snowdonia and i can see a few white caps
    There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.
