Personally I blame Gordon Brown.
The bad weather started when he came to power (remember the floods and the Brown bounce?) and it has been bad ever since. When was the last time we had a proper summer?
Someone needs to let the weather know Gordon is history.

'twas exactly a year ago I took my new (to me) R12S for a tour up to Scotland. I met up with an old school friend in Dundee and we went up north into Aberdeenshire. The weather was overcast first thing but the sun came out and we ended up, late afternoon sitting by the harbour in Stonehaven, basking in sunshine, eating ice cream.
We headed back home, parked the bikes and walked to the pub for a bevy or two. Fast forward a year and I'm looking out at a couple of inches of snow.
I think the best day out on the bike this year was with the local IAM group run to Birmingham motorcycle museum...
...and that was on New Years Day!

This was yesterday morning

and this is this morning .....

**edit** Sunday morning .... (shall I report it missing)


The joys of living next door to the proclaimed "Highest Village in Wales" Bwlchgwyn

Sadly I forgot to get supplies in so I'm out of bread, butter etc but there's enough of me to survive

The council JCB plough gave up at about 2am and abandoned the road, it's not stopped snowing between light and heavy snow since midnight or so on Thursday.
At the moment the powers still on so thankfully warm and cosy, it normally goes off so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's not so much the cold it's the bloody boredom when the power goes
