We're sort of half Newcastle and half Sunderland in this area, football wise.
Nowadays you don't hear so many folks saying 'pet', and my DH laughs at me if call a child 'flower'! I think it's a nice friendly way to talk to people, but maybe I'm in the minority.2025 Fashion on the ration

Oooh! MrsCD. How exciting. Here on the continent we last had any appreciable fall of snow in January 2010. I remember it well. People were out in their gardens in the middle of the night making snowmen and having snowball fights in case it had all disappeared by the morning. My son rushed out and bought my 8 year old grandson a sledge. It has been used once. He is twenty now so I doubt he'd fit on it.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Thankfully DD decided to stay home tonight after hearing the warnings not to go out unless really necessary. Those poor folks stuck on trains because of the line being blocked!😨 And the emergency services who have to be out in it. 😫2025 Fashion on the ration

We're in NW Kent - a ladder was blown over and the watering can was discovered halfway down the garden, but that was all.5
