...its now November, again!... :o...!

....and the start of a long cold journey for me, in England, until the warmth of next Summer arrives!

As I get older, cold Winters become more of a dread, and enormous expense, every year... :(...!

..and now the shops are filling up with; "Christmas Stuff"... >:(...!

Hedgehogs and Tortoises have the right idea...they go to sleep for the Winter, and wake up when it gets nice and warm again!!

...I might try that!.... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

...(Give me a shout, when next Summer arrives!)... ;)...!

Paul...Weathering the Winter!... ;)...!

Last year it was Christmas at my parents in Cornwall. So it was a long journey from the North German Plain to deepest Cornwall. We arrived on Christmas eve. Dumped the children with granny and granddad and went out to do some last minute shopping. I then dropped into a shop for the Christmas TV guide and there in front of me on sale on Christmas eve was.................Easter Eggs

Agree with Foz on the Christmas..
I hate it! Money making on few and money spending on the rest.

My birthdate is the ides of November, my cousin's the ides of December --

I get sunk ships in cold winds (as The Edmund Fitzgerald), murdered turkeys and a (usuallly) barren landscape;
He gets Christmas carols, gifts and a sparkling field of white.
