Don't know what the temp was here but I even had the gilet off, never mind the coat! Just made it back to the house tho when God emptied his bath tub!
I woke up to a still day with a lovely sky, in the last 5 minutes the wind has started and is getting quite strong and its raining :frown2:.
Good job I did my little trip in the van yesterday.

Very strong and cold winds here this morning. Blue skies and sunshine though. I have to sow some grass seed today where we have moved the van and where they have dug to connect us to the sewers. I might find it grows in the next county!

It was very cold last night, there was snow on the other side of the valley, the sun keeps peeping out this morning but not enough to get the place warm.

As I understand it on other www. ´s. the EU countries all agreed, but as the UK is not in the EU they have to make their own plans.

I didn´t know that Germany and I assume all the other European countries this side of the channel, didn´t start this malarky until 1980 to do with oil crisis where we have changed clocks in the UK since the First World War I think.

It's a bit odd in the states as AZ keeps the same time where as all it's adjoining states change.

Where were we talking about clocks being altered today /images/MotorhomeFacts_2014/smilies/tango_face_sad.png I have forgotten.
Apparently here its the last time tonight or tomorrow morning at 2 am if you want to be pedantic /images/MotorhomeFacts_2014/smilies/tango_face_smile_big.png

That link you refer to Jan says there won't be time to talk about changing clock routines - rather more pressing issues.

I was doing teacher training in Aberdeen the year the UK tried not changing the clocks. I can tell you it was pretty miserable going to and returning from school in the pitch black. There was a feeling that life was much less safe in those circumstances but I'm not sure if they produced any figures for the experiment.

I do remember in our early days of wandering thro Europe in the MH, finding ourselves in Portugal after touring through northern Spain. We noticed a church clock at the 'wrong' time but it was several days before we realised actually it was our watches that were wrong!

Yes Portugal is like crossing a time zone from Spain. Great on the journey down but not on the return losing an hour.

Tonight's moon - tomorrow it will be a Worm Moon
Never heard of a worm moon before, I will now read why it is called that.

I see or I read---
The worm moon is the first full moon in the month of March. The moon in March has a lot of different nicknames: the Worm Moon, because the ground begins to thaw and earthworms reappear, soon followed by the return of robins. ... the Lenten Moon, because it happens right around the Christian season of lent.

Been here for several days and for the foreseeable future, temperature due to be 18 today then 21, 22, 22 for the next three although most days we seem to record a couple of degrees higher which could be due to where our outside thermometer is located.

Heavily into grass cutting, of course, twice a week from now on....
