verystormy Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Well, after a stunning weekend where we sat in t-shirts outside at the local pub basking in sunshine and in wonder that this is Scotland in October, the old Scottish saying "we will pay for that" seems to have applied. I woke for work this morning to thick fog which cleared before I left the house only to discover the car was covered in thick ice and needed a good scraping before I could go anywhere, then today has been very cold and showery. How are things in Perth now? Has spring arrived? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Been late in arriving but had a lovely couple of days - so hoping this is it. Spring in either country is one of my favourite times. Hate ice and cold though, so you can keep winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Good to hear Spring has started there. Autumn here has been very late arriving. I am am in the Cairngorms the rest of this week and that will be very autumnal. I was in the highlands a couple of weeks ago and there were as already snow starting on the peaks.

Deb Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Can not beileve how cold this year is from last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 We were in the highlands all this week and had great weather until yesterday when it chucked it down all day, but didn't mind in the slightest and had a great time. A distillery is a good time no matter the weather and really enjoyed a tour (£7 each including two drams of single malt and an engraved glass each). And treated myself to a bottle at the end.

Was pretty disapointed about that as some were 30 year malts. But, enjoying a tot of my bottle now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
