Silversprite

Last weekend we (finally) had snow here on the Island of Berneray (pop: 124) and other parts of the Outer Hebrides. It rarely snows here, and was informed that this was the deepest snow for the last 11 years.

Various residents scuttled out to get pictures; my other half got a set of the island under snow:

...which includes:

Have put up and linked through to a selection of other snow pictures from last weekend, by various Outer Hebrides residents, on my blog:

Is there anyone on this forum who lives, or visits, the Outer Hebrides who managed to get good snow pictures last weekend? Please do put them online / point to them. It's a pretty rare event, and if the global warning folk are right, then it may be even rarer in the future.

If you were the last woman in the world, I wouldn't chase you.

In fact ... Macnumpty would probably be a better prospect!!!

If you were the last woman in the world ... absolutely!

And you show your upbringing by referring to homosexuality in that way. I'm not sure gay people like that particular expression coming from straight people.
