You would have thought that the last 3 winters would have hit the beestards hard but nope they seem to becoming in greater numbers every year, and don't get me started about the monster spiders we have quick as fook too, at least they will eat other pests, but still they is something not right about a spider as big as a mouse scuttling across your feet!!

just as well you are, the female contingent on net-wx are known for their fierce approach and venomous bite!!

[ronan]

We are killing spiders everyday in our house!! They are massive!! Don't know why there is so many this year! Maybe they are telling us that there's a mega cold winter on the way and they need shelter away from it!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

First taste of winter in over a weeks time per chance.....

Anyway Ronan apparently we are cough cough lucky have these beasties as its a sign of a dry house!!

hey there ronan, yep spells of rain on and off, some of it quite heavy and very mild.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Its interesting how wet our autumns have been for the last while, I definitely think we are in a cycle of wet autumns and dryish winters/springs.

That said I am fed up with the amount of rain we have had can the taps be turned off please

Imagine this amount of precip during the winter months when its colder and we have more chance of snow!! Hope your well stalked up Pomeroy for this winter as if i remember you had it pretty bad last year!! Think we should start putting up some of our pictures from last year just to wet our appetite! I remember you put one up of your car with about a foot of snow on top of it! lol! I have attached a picture of our first really heavy snowfal on the 6th December last year! It brought the roads to a standstill!!
