What's your weather like today?....3

that means we may get a bit of it.

i live in the north west a little village called croston.

Well, you need to post us some pictures, George.  There are only 2 on here and this is one of them. 

Picture by Town&Village Estate Agents

thats the oldest st in croston it runs by the canal,im going back a few yrs now but  the houses in that pic were selling for close on £180,000 and they are very tiny.

i dont know how much that is in dollars. 

292,626.88 USD

This is a good currency exchange site:  http://www.xe.com/ucc/

The lb. is still pretty favorable against the dollar.  This might be your year to travel, George. 

all arranged  "i think " for this year ruth i think we are going back to austria in june        scotland in september  and maybe just maybe a week in november to lanzerote.

it all depends on how much the wife can save up in the meantime  

I just noticed that the figure I cut and pasted with the amont of US dollard didn't post, George.  It was something like $292,000 and some odd $.  I think the vacation spots you have lined up for this year are just perfect.  Scotland's high on our list.  Weather wise, it seems the spring months are the driest over there, aren't they?

Well, I just looked up the Edinburgh Tatoo and it's some kind of great looking festival.  Tatoo must have something other that the traditional meaning, I reckon, like so many of words over there?  lol

Just to keep on topic, hope the weather's fine for the the tatoo....

i believe it gets a bit chilly try this ruth

there are a couple more to view as well. 

Wow, that was amazing, George.  I would love to see that.  The most authentic bagpiping I've ever heard.  Towards the end of the video, where it's just the drums, the beat reminds me of Irish step dancing.  Must be that Celtic influence.
