The temperatures hardly rose above freezing this week, but somehow or other I think we are all getting used to it. Perhaps with the recent experience of last winter we are getting better at adapting to the snow and ice. Prior to last winter we had a decade or more of mild winters when snow became a novelty. It is almost as if these harsher winters chime with the difficult economic climate; back to the 70s. The silly tabloids cry out that this weather means global warming is nonsense; but as anyone knows weather is not the same as climate (well actually they probably don't know). In fact globally this year will be the second warmest since records began. To finish on a better note, the following two photographs show views from the Caerwys golf course.

| Alpine Caerwys? I apologise for yet another view of Moel y Parc. |

We always used to have cold winters, I remember being snowed in many times with my grandmother and her under stairs store cupboard was a store cupboard for exactly that reason.
