Nice and chilly in Wellywood today, a great spring southerly for all.
I can’t see it attributed to Climate Change though, that has been going on for mellenia.
this is just a normal spring southerly buster.
But Global Warming, now called Climate Change because the former was not having the effect the GW agenda instigators would have liked, is to be trully feared – yeh right!!
