Old Weather Forum

Are the twin towns Upper and Lower Slaughter?

(meanwhile back on the previous set, is the museum the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley?)

Is the living museum Ironbridge?

Tewkesbury is the place with the abbey and mustard

For the third one Llangollen Canal?

I've been on the section that includes the Pontcysylite Aquaduct - amazing! (Just don't ask me to pronounce it)

Well it would be rather embarrassing if I didn't get this. It's Preston, just down the road from where I live. The viking silver is the Cuerdale Horde. I did vaguely remember about KFC but not the phone boxes or Burch Cassidy's parents.

Feel free to add other unusual facts about places I go to

(Not sure this really counts as a fact!)
In the universe of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Belgium is considered the rudest word.

Thanks, Caro. I'd solved the bonus word but then didn't read the info, so now I know why 'Navy' was the first word I spotted in the puzzle!

It's my most recent obsession

For another word puzzle there's https://squaredle.app/

Great stories and pics!

Wow!! Great painting, I especially like the stormy sea.

Such terrible news - I don't really know what to say.

Happy Birthday Michael!

Happy New Year!

Here's hoping!

Merry Christmas!

I'll second that, while feeling rather pathetic for complaining about -7C here a couple of weeks ago!

Temperatures for the last few days at around sunrise:
Friday -5C
Sat & Sun 2.5C
Today 13C!

Hopefully that should get rid of the last of the ice. On Sunday afternoon some of the paths around here were still really dangerous.
