NE Scotland. We lost power at 18.00 on Friday night. Still out at 16.00 Sunday and apparently it may be a few days more yet. It’s 0c out there and intermittent snow storms.
It’s getting to me going for a long drive in the car to get warm and charge everyone’s phones. Lots of trees down and a rather nice RS5 lying on its side in a ditch nearby (ouch).
It’s all bit rubbish but when you consider refugees in Europe, and the homeless here, having to live through the winter without a roof over their head it kinda puts it all in perspective. I shall be donating to a refugee charity when we get power back.
Serves you right for living in Scotchland. Better send some woollens to Brian as he’s threatening to annex territory again.NE Scotland. We lost power at 18.00 on Friday night. Still out at 16.00 Sunday and apparently it may be a few days more yet. It’s 0c out there and intermittent snow storms.

Beekeepers recommend bottom ventilation. The cluster will keep warm and be ready to go foraging early in the spring.Kilts are actually super warm, though the updraught can be problematical if you're a true Scotsman.
I think you need to be born there to handle it.
It does equip you with certain skills. When I first moved to the East Midlands I was gobsmacked to see traffic grinding to a halt in a couple of centimetres of snow.
Annex territory? You lost me there.Serves you right for living in Scotchland. Better send some woollens to Brian as he’s threatening to annex territory again.
