Mad March.......snow!

Who says spring has arrived?
oh there it is... ain't that lovely?
I was out in Storm yesterday morning running into lunchtime.
I just decided to go for run and had the camerii with me. The roof was down and I was up.
How glorious. How beautiful. How sunny.

See....
And further shots were taken of similar. Blue skies, fluffy white clouds, the sun.
Lovely.
I got home.
And by mid afternoon things had changed - quite dramatically.


here is my rhubarb fighting it's way up. It's been poking it's nose up since mid January and it looks gorgeous and almost ready to eat but it's been thro' some varied weather conditions. Sun, rain, wind, freezing temps., snow.... the lot.
I can almost taste the crumble already

Later that evening before the sun dropped into the western horizon the snow had stopped and there were some lovely colours out there

And, despite sunset being in the west this is looking north-east!

Britain - where the weather is the best talked-about topic in the land
Hell! and people wonder why.... tsk!!

So this is what happens when you emerge from a shipwrecked sea

Yes! The words to the song are Let It Snow (x3) but this time, this year we caught the weather on the hop.
It was our turn to turn the tables. TEME SPIRITS performed a show and the weather did not screw it up!
So ner ner ner ner ner to Frosty the Snowman et al! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Three great nights with three great audiences. Honours go to
Thursday night audience
Friday night cast
Saturday night tricksters and party-goers!

Big up to my mate, Fo, who took to a principle role and performed out of her skin
Well done, Queen Rat! Big thumbs up!

Queen Rat

A good time was had by all. I am still in recovery. haha!

So - we beat the weather and then it came! The whole country has had a dose which is, nowadays, unusual. Scotland, London, Wales, East Anglia, Cornwall, Hampshire, the Midlands,.... everywhere eventually.

my back garden a couple of nights ago

Hare's Green yesterday

the montgomeryshire - radnorshire border on Dolfor
yesterday

DOLFOR (Monty side) - yesterday
before we encountered a snow drift

As the country has a reprieve for a day some of us are bracing ourselves for another dose. It's due overnight so i could be waking to a whole fresh batch of the white stuff. Tomorrow is a day off work so should i go tobogganing in Storm? Hmmm! maybe not :D
But i have enjoyed bumbling about in Frosty's genes in a rear-wheel driven sports car.
Yehaaaaa!

There she is at work. A wee twitch around the corner quick
response, bring her back in line and sorted.
Shame Mondeo farmer couldn't bloody learn to drive as well.
Tsk!
