Ahhh... winter... the best time of year bar none
Snow and/or xmas... what's not to like? ;
A bit cold maybe (though often not) but you can always warm up
(Better than not being able to cool down in the summer)
Admittedly, lots of ice is not so good on two wheels, but definitely improves your riding/reaction skills


Course it could just be me lol

Like winter - you crazy kids - It's 'orrible and baltic - hate winter!! Have dug all of my tog clothing out already! thinking of going to work in my sleeping bag, still am looking forward to xmas - have ordered myself some sunshine in Lanzarote so that'll make up for it. (hope the runways don't ice up but don't mind if I can't get home)
Hope my pipes don't ice up again like last year - what a mare (ermm.. pipes as in house pipes that is!!)

I'm sure the whole of the South will be fully prepared this year...


We'll have run out of grit by New Year, cars will be abandoned along the M3 and the airports will be SNOCLO yet again.


3 cheers and all that :)

I read an article in Auto Express, a chap with a BMW wrote to his council to complain about the lack of grit and snow clearance down the unadopted road he lives on.


The council's advice? Change the car!

Wet leaves and acorns/chestnuts are a nightmare and there's plenty of them lying around already.


Hail stones? :(

Yup hailstones and quite big ones judging from the lumps that were lodged down my laddies back pmsl...poor thing needs to toughen up! Shame my cat's decided to go and obviously move in with someone else though but have a sneaking suspicion a little old lady with a very convenient cat flap has cat napped him because I don't have a cat flap and he likes beds...

Thought my window was going to cave in with the golfballs but apparently it's lovely in Bournemouth though....

Just come back from Cornwall, with Nellie, weather wasn't too bad for October but the accommodation was well below standard and felt damp, being situated next to a mini forest didn't help. The up side was I got to see a few squirrels, rabbits and a toad, the toad jumped on Nellie's foot as he was walking along the path. lol It's cold here (Huddersfield)
