Rowan... mighty cold down here at the moment and it has been blowing a hoolley... Brrrrr. A few flakes of snow yesterday and some hail!! but mostly wet. Georgie
 
Same here Georgie, our fence and allottment greenhouse went for a "burton" :redface: but I think it was coming from your side of the coast!!

Sir Josiah was buried in the grounds of the orphanage. Where was his remains and the remains of the children moved to when the place was pulled down?
 
Rowan.... I have no idea what happened to him.

A much better day over here today... no howling wind... Georgie
