Thanks for that jack, nice to hear from you again. I thought you might have dissapeared under a mile of snow!

We don't get much here anymore, due to 'Global warming', it just stays cloudy all the time. it is midsummers day today and we have 100% cloud cover.

Not the best conditions for vibrant colour photography.

We are all a bit tiffed (polite version) off with it. I expect you are going to tell me it is gloriously sunny and warm there!
