Hi folks :cool:

Haddo is closed today ............ there was a skin of ice round the edges last night, so judging by the roads and the ice on my car this morning I haven't gone over to check it out, it will be frozen :z6

Best wishes

Definatley :shock

We have about 3" of snow here, this is the first snow i've seen lie here since we arrived in June, i guess that means everyone else probably has it too :z6

I wonder what Stavangar is like?

Good pub in Stavanger  :z4 :z4 :z4 There is if you take out a second mortgage  :z6

I've found the weather not to be a lot diffent from ours , mind you it will get worse the further you are from the coast.

I see City Star have gone toes up , this was the airline we used to fly to Norway.

Your lucky Sandy , Stuartfield missed the July blizards this year  :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4

Hi folks :cool:

I have just got back from the loch. It is frozen and there is a fair amount of snow about so Haddo will be closed again tomorrow.

Best wishes

The mention of raiding my beer fridge got me to bite!  It current;y only consists of 1 can and it is Super Bowl night :z8  I can't even buy any as they stop selling beer around 7pm at the nearest shop, and oh, it is Sunday, no shops are open!

Stavanger had snow yesterday but back to rain today!  Good pubs here?  If you know one then please let me know!  The only good beer here is the Juleol and if you didn't guess by the name, you only get it at Christmas time!  Stay off the Tou - that stuff is pure chemical.

Mike, you had better be open in 2-3 weeks time as I need a day chasing rainbows!

At least if I need a snow fix it is only 2hours drive from here!

Later,

Mike

Great to hear from you Mike :z16

Maybe Sandy should take some 6 packs with him :z7

As for the fishing in 2 to 3 weeks time:
The loch was thawing out nicely this afternoon ( Sunday ) so I should be open again tomorrow morning :wink

Hi folks :cool:

Haddo was open again today (Monday) with 90% of the ice gone and a good few fish rising :wink

I took a run over to Pitfour this afternoon and there was no ice there at all. Ross made me a lovely cuppa and it was just grand to be there again, it brought back lots of memories of the days when I used to fish the lake on a regular basis :cool:

Best wishes
