Chucking it down here. Driving to home town in the west country - Radstock, also home to Gibby - in a min; looks like we will have the wet and windy stuff all day so an interesting drive in store across Salisbury Plain.
Good luck with your travelling today. I'll be following you down the 303 tomorrow as I'm off down to Newton Abbot to stay with my Mum for her 86th birthday. Hoping it won't be quite so blustery and wet tomorrow but as we all know, weather is not in our hands. Just hoping there won't be snowdrifts to negotiate when I come back on Wednesday lol!

Really happy to share some good news with you tonight, as you're such a friendly crowd. My son and daughter finally got confirmation today of a move to a more suitable property, on medical grounds.
Its been a tough few years for them and nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
The property is fully adapted to meet my sons needs and is a great relief for us all round, as our present accommodation is totally inappropriate now, as it has internal and external stairs and he has great problems with his balance.
The property is newly built on a nice developement in Chislehurst, in a much nicer area and we will have a brand new shiny Bromley postcode to boot, rather than the old London one. A bonus too, we will be more than double the elevation we have at the moment! (Only joking). Spies some possible snow days! Slightly more awkward journey to work in Croydon but the pros far outweigh the cons
So we're a really happy household in SE20, tonight!
Regards,
Tom.
So glad to hear your good news, Tom and I'd like to wish you and your son and daughter very much happiness for the future.
I always notice your posts because we used to live in Anerley before we came down here to deepest Kent - have got a soft spot for it (Anerley) which might seem a bit peculiar but we had some good times there.

Snow is teasing us here again (between Sittingbourne and Faversham) as it has done all winter through, and I've told it I'm not going to play this time!!! I am refusing to get excited about the possibility of even half a centimetre, and although there have been scattered flakelets fluttering around outside since around 7.15 this morning, I am pretending not to notice in the hope that they will up their game and work harder and produce more and more flakes
Doesn't seem to be working, though, because there is no sign of anything white outside except my lovely snowdrops. But I am not going to curse the snow, or the weather in general or become despondent because I am not playing the snow-game anymore (who am I kidding?)Sue x

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow, John P. I know I do not know you, but, like so many in here, we all care when someone is hurting and going through hard times.
This is a poem I love - you may like it or you may think it's schmalzy, but it's sent with every good wish for strength and comfort.for you and your family.
Here's the poem, don't know who wrote it:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

Had a very light dusting last night - hang on, I'll just go and count the flakes, won't take me a minute. It all seems to be going north-east - but maybe a little something for us in kent tomorrow? Who can tell?
Happy Saturday,

It's been flurrying here - between Sittingbourne and Faversham for about two hours. Dandruff mostly, with the occasional thicker, denser snowflakes to raise hopes and expectations! Nothing's settling though, and I'm just wondering whether the 'flakes' I'm watching now are recycled from earlier, after being blown around and back up they are now coming down again!
Just looked up 'Flurry' in the online dictionary:
FLURRY - noun.
1. commotion, stir, bustle, flutter, to-do, excitement, hurry, fuss, disturbance, flap, whirl, furore, ferment, agitation, fluster, ado, tumult There was a flurry of excitement.
2. burst, spell, bout, outbreak, spurt a flurry of diplomatic activity
3. gust, shower, gale, swirl, squall, storm A flurry of snowflakes was scudding by the window.
It struck me that this could be a pretty accurate description of the emotions experienced by us all during this past winter as we watch, wait, hope, jump up and down, weep, wail and stamp our feet at the vicissitudes of snow and weather.
Happy weekend to everyone!

Been in garden weeding and cutting and pottering, sun on back, birds chirruping a very definite spring, mating-type song, a bee buzzing in the winter honeysuckle, skies blue, all's well with the world - hard to believe temps will be sinking to zero and below in a day or two. Hope that bee will be okay!

Its classed as a thickness value and In general it is an indicator for snow. If you read the the link it will explain in more detail (Easy Read)

Hi Simon
I'm new here too and can say that this lot in here are a lovely bunch.
Looking forward to some snow next week
I'm new too, though been a member for a while, and I think the loving, compassionate spirit in here is uplifting and wonderful. As someone said, the Circle of Life has truly been manifest in the last few days, and the warm caring of so many people is just lovely. Even if we were in the middle of the snowiest, bitterest, freeze-up ever (I wish!) I think everyone in the Netweather Forum would be warm as toast with all the love and kindness.
There, had to say that 'cos it's true.
Love, Sue

hi chris
thanks
its true its better to keep busy at present
and the support on here at present has brought a few tears to my eyes
in a nice way as it shows there is still a decent amount of people around still
next few days will be very tough but i know it will get easier
just so you know my father passed away with a big heart attack and i was
with him at the time
i tried cpr and the paramedics did as well
when he got to hospital in resasitation they could only get a weak
heart beat so me and my other half sat there with him while he died
my father was my dad and my best friend and i will miss him so much
sorry for cluttering the thread but thought it would be nice for everyone to know
the funeral will be sometime next week and hopefully things will get easier with time

Although your heart is breaking at the moment, there will be a time when you will be so glad that you - and the one you love - were with your Dad when he passed on. And be assured, he will have known you were there with him.If you spoke to him, he would have heard what you said. You were a true and loving son for him when he most needed it. Be proud of yourself.
Love, Sue x

Although i have been a member for several years this is the first time I have ever written anything - I just wanted to wish you strength and courage and comfort, John. I read your posts, always knowing that what you say will be sound. So thank you and will look forward to future posts when you are ready. And thanks everyone for all your knowledge and enthusiasm and cheerfulness. Sue xxHello all
Thankyou for your concern
I promise I will let you know what has happened in a few days. It is a very sad time for me and need some time to come to grips with my loss
I do appreciate your kindness
Talk soon

Shaldon's lovely - my Mum actually lives in the countryside outside Stoke-in-Teignhead, which isn't far from Shaldon. Hope you find a good B & B when you next go - bless your Dad, it'll be lovely for him and his sis to see one another.
Happy Saturday
Sue
