            Well I'd believe Woo out of anybody, think about it......

            When he wakes up in the morning, if his feathers are wet it's raining, if they're nice and shiny it's sunny and if he ain't got any it's windy and it's blown them all off :)

              Good morning and thank you for your confidence in woo @Anthony Rogers my good friend:smile:
              but there is just one more very good reason to back up woos prediction and that is:whistle:

              When woos Roses come in to bloom for a second time
              the coming winter will be wet and warm and mighty fine:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    I don't know why the newspapers print such utter nonsense! We stopped having a daily newspaper for this very reason! :th scifD36:
                    Here's Beckies weather forecast....
                    The winter will be cold, you will need a coat, it will rain, there will be frost & possibly snow, some days will be bright some dull! But as long as you smile & keep busy the spring will soon be here....already looking forward to the daffodils! :hapydancsmil:That's my more realistic forecast! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                      OMG when will forecasters stop even trying to get the long range weather forecasts right! They are doing well to predict 3 days ahead far less 3 months. What will be will be. That said had better go and organise to get the boiler serviced so it doesn't break down in the middle of the impending ice age:). Don't you just love all the doom and gloom merchants who seem hell bent on making sure we don't have a carefree moment.

                        Brilliant post @silu :heehee:, you are so right! we arent allowed to be happy are we!
                        I vote we start our own news channel, we could call it the positive mental attitude channel...it would contain NO doom & gloom what so ever! :) Just nice gardens, happy moments & people's achievements!......I wonder how long that would last & what the daily mail would have to say about that!!!! :heehee:

                            Tv is just as bad.
                            Central News have just said that we've had some heavy rain now every day this week. In reality we haven't had a single drop since Monday.

                            Talk about doing a " forecast " ? They can't even get what we've already had right !
