Superb. It's pictures like these that I realy like seeing whilst I'm working and looking through the window at a harsh city landscape. Of course, if I stopped logging in to BCUK whilst working, I would probably spend more time at home and bimbling :D

Nice :D
I had visions of a repeat of Wiston after the snow we've been having :rolleyes: :D

Seriously looks like a good chill out night :approve:

Hear? can anybody mind how much those grill things cost ? I have one that's never been used but I stole the hanging grill to use on my oil drum firebowl.
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit Tam :eek:

OOopps cross post. I know I didn't get mine for that, I thought it was around the £14.95 or so :dunno:

nice pics, looks like you had fun, wee surprise in the morn as well with the snow!!

The surprise was being woken by the wife on the phone at 8am... whilst in a nice slumber to say it was snowing.:lmao:
I've had a word with her about calling me at work in the middle of the night...

Positively balmy last night in comparison to Wiston Mary.

I think those bbqs started at £25,could be wrong.

We were in the airt of 'Old King Cole' near a bit known as 'Dead mans home' which was meant to be the site of a battle of some kind involving King Coyle,so local lore says.

Coyle hen, king of the Northern British ? Who left a daughter fairer than any in Britain?
Tarbolton or Deid man's Holm ?
They excavated the mound there in the 19th century and found cinerary urns with bones underneath capstones.
No other grave goods iirc though.

Pretty bit of the world anyroads :D

cheers,
Mary

I hate cuts like those. Ragged ones that take ages to heal and leave bits of dry catch on everything edges for a week or so :sigh:
Hope it's not that bad.

cheers,
