That's HOT

No passport Son,just a bus pass. I am half Yorkshire anyway. My mother hailed from Sheffield.......so they let me into Yorkshire without any problems...it's himself I am bothered about. He was born in LIVERPOOL 71 years ago today!
So they might leave him at the border :)
 
Drop into the Three Pigeons on South Parade, a great Art Deco heritage pub, nothing like that in Canada.

Well, this will be my first foray to Halifax for many a long year(more than 40 but less than 50)...so this visit will be a 'recce'. At some point over the year I am going to be out and about with just my camera and enough money to buy a butty and a drink...and I really like Art Deco...so that will be on my list.
 
No sunbathing this year ... but the bright side is we had only one major storm, and there were sweet times at the Little Cat.:D

Maple Madness at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area CRCA

And as we wait, and wait, and wait for signs of spring, we can always curl up with a depressing poem:

There's a certain slant of light, by Emily Dickinson

But the temp is up to -14.
Yes, that's a wonderful poem. It so well expresses the deep despair that often comes with winter.
On a brighter note, I heard robins singing today. Poor shivering blighters!

It's abour a 10 minute walk from the bus station but the Piece Hall and the Children's Museum are on the way not to mention the Old Post Office for "err" refreshments too.
 
Oh, I feel for those folk. I hate snow...and fortunately this winter we have had very little white stuff...and what we had had been mainly hail or frost.
A winter that has been as bitter and prolonged, must be very hard to live with....except there is not much alternative.
 
At the present time the weather is still pleasant here in South Australia, around the high 20’s and low 30’s during the day – but a bit chilly overnight (around the 15 degrees).

I don’t enjoy the colder weather, so not really relishing the thought of winter, but will just have to grin and bear it and make the most of every day whatever it is. At my time of life I can’t afford to wish my time away until next summer!!!! Oops!

The old man has gone off to play golf at the local club which is just a couple of streets away. Went at 6.30 this morning, still dark. Plays the game with a group of other grumpy old men. He’s not keen on the cold either – already wearing warmer clothing – have no idea what he’ll do when the weather gets really cold. Maybe hibernate….
