The old saying goes ‘Ne’er cast a clout till May be out’ and now I know why, I am sitting here shivering this morning :-((

Morning Joyce and Jax, Jax, you have me intrigued!!! (pm me if you like) :-)))

yes its cold here

Morning Dee why do you do this to me I have something I could say but im not allowed I hate it when that happens lol If its any consolation yesterday I was wearing a woolly jumper today it will be a vest top Jax xx

We have a bright blue clear sky here and warming sunshine, so it's OK. We abandoned our stay at the caravan on Saturday though. Thin walls mean that it seems much colder there. I haven't packed away winter clothes yet. Early mornings can be chilly, when we get up around 5 am. Gwyn

Hi Gwyn, we have rain and a stiff breeze here, the dog has had to put her wax jacket on this morning, it's not nice out there ;-))

Looks quite bright in Newcastle-you all have a good day XX

you and me both Dee,,,heating on still,,plus layers of cloths I shouldnt be wearing at this time of years,,,! ps-morning each,!

And you Jennifer Jax - that must be a regional variation of the expression (pmsl) ;-)))))))

Hi Dee Not on long but just to let you know the sun is bright here in Wales. lol Have a nice day. Ron

Hope you have a good day Ron, take care xx

I will today. lol A big HELLO to all on here. Hope you have a nice day Bye for now.

Kay, if it gets any colder I will be looking out a hot water bottle for tonight ;-)))

well Dee,,hate to admit but my electric blanket was on last night and has been most nights since last year,:--))))

Hubby just told me it was 1c in Glasgow lastnight. We are going camping at the weekend only for two night's but will have a very lively, chatty 4 yr old with us...I hope the weather is good. Marion

Marion, Thick vest and bloomers just in case,,,,,,:-))

Hi Marion, Hope the weather improves, camping in this weather isn't much fun. Mr friends boys are away with the scouts/cubs this weekend, she is dreading all the muddy washing they will bring home Dee x

We used to go away quite a lot when my kids were young. hubby has the job of putting tent up and if it rains it's pretty horrible. I am hoping it will be good cause I have suggested that the two of pack up the car and head off to parts of Scotland we have never been to. If this weekend is wet...I have no chance of talking him round. Thermal drawers and wellies might be needed lol Marion

I know the saying, but what does it actually mean, never cast a clout?! Anne

Hi Anne, in the saying the word clout is a variation on cloth.Shakespeare refers to things being clouted, and they were things that were heavy and patched It has other meanings, as in power when a politician has clout and can also be used in archery to refer to a target I think they are implying that May can often turn cold at the end of the month, like it has this year, and that it is unwise to cast off winter clothes until June is here (sorry I sound as though I swallowed the dictionary) ;-))) Dee :-))
