Am I glad I'm not flying off to somewhere exotic for Christmas! It's incredible to believe that the rest of the country seems to be enveloped in freezing fog, when it is absolutely lovely here! Hard frost, yes, but the sun shining on the frosted trees and grass of our paddock was stunning this morning.What's it like where you are?

It was -6.5 according to the guage on my truck at 3 o'clock this morning going through to Aberdeen. You can't beat a nice dry,crisp frosty morning. I don't see the appeal of going abroad to sunnier destinations for Christmas,

Not to be the harbinger of bad news, ok, why not?? If the weather 'experts' are to be believed it will all go downhill at New Year with gales and rain forecast. There is also supposed to be a very cold period in Spring, but what is new with that? It seems to happen every year.
Some are blaming global warming, but I do not subscribe to that theory. We have had weather variations certainly as far back as I can remember, although the summers in the 50's did seem warmer and longer than now, so who knows. What I do think is that the seasons are kicking forward a bit. Spring is usually late, summer tends to drift into September/October and we all call it an 'Indian Summer. Winter starts mild and then gets serious after New Year, so the time clock is changing. Maybe we need to change the calendar to compensate?

Here on the Isle of Wight, it has been exactly that all day long, a thick blanket of freezing fog which has shown no signs of lifting, in fact its getting even worse.
If it oes get worse, that will mean the Island cut off from "civilisation" (the mainland) until the boat skippers can see where they are going.

This could be an oppertunity for us caravaners to get back at all those people who acuse us of blocking the transport system up during the summer.
But you cannot help feel sorry for them. Chrismas at Heathrow does not have that ring to it.

Aberdeen was quite pleasant today, Frost lifted around 11am and some sun in the afternoon.
