Caz 25 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Guys Back from Christmas/New year & holidaying with eldest son from Nottingham.How have you all been? I trust you all had a good crimbo & New Year? Ours was good. Still feels like crimbo to me,hot weather too much food & drink you know where i'm coming from!! Must get back to the gym this week i think im porking up me duck !situp! Yes Mick I agree Christmas isn't the same when it's 90 deg!! Our Christmas was cool, we went to a place not far from Ballarat & it's nearly always cooler than anywhere else,they even get snow in the winter. But since coming back to Bright [where we live] it has been very hot 42 isn't unusual at the minute,melting tarmac,parched gardens & nearly white grass,it's a tough job keeping the water up to the plants at this time of the year. I see you guys had a lot of snow but not sure what the state of the UK weather is at the moment? Anyway just to wish you all a Happy & healthy 2006. I'm off to read all the posts i've missed see ya !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hello Caz you have been missed. Glad you have had such a nice hol, i'm sorry that the weather your side of the world is so hot but frankly i for one can do without that sort of heat, give me the British winters any day, at least you know what month you are in over here....

Caz 25 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 No sugar coating for me Den, be as blunt as you like love. Weather still bloody hot,took the dog for a walk in the bush tonight at 7.30 & nearly killed him in the process poor bu99er. Had to get the fan & wet towels out poor baby. Looks like it might rain a little tonight which would be great, we have a dust storm every time we drive up to the house. I promise not to whinge about the winter again !faint!

Shame on yer Caz, they hailed from Carlton, he used to live near Prices Bakery. They were ten quid tourists in the 60's Caz. I migrated there in 1979, so they were well set when I arrived, and I had to pay full air fare, they got the scenic cruise treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
