    Sunshine After The Rain ~ Weather Thread #5

    Lovely blue sky this morning, although still pretty windy. Finally had some snow on Thursday :D Although I do wonder why in a country where crap weather is the norm public transport seems to be incapable of running on time or properly as soon as the first snowflake falls??

    Smacking children - right or wrong?

    I think I was only smacked once as a kid. And to this day I still remember what it was for and it is something that I have never ever done since!

    I Can't Believe It #6
