Now it is getting cold

Since coming up to Antrim we have basked in the most lovely weather we have seen here. It is almost like the place has forgotten that there are tourists here and left sun on. I might just watch the news and weather. OK about 3 degrees by the end of the week and with strong winds again temperature will get down to -9. What The! It hasn’t rained for almost a week now so they must be ready to go to level 2 water restrictions.
We have driven to the northern most point of this little island and had a look and today we go the closest point to Scotland (only about 18 kms) and had a look. They were surprisingly the same in appearance. The whole island falls from about 200m straight into the sea. It is spectacular and I have nearly driven off several roads looking at it. Lucky I had the wife proximity alarm installed to give early warning of suspect events. We are so close to Scotland in fact all the TV we get here is UK and Scotland even the phone is picking up UK vodaphone so I have no reception at all. The frosts are getting thicker and lasting longer around the place and I have to be particularly careful diving into the corners with a head of steam and the bit between my teeth, otherwise the car, the steam and the screaming passengers will all shoot straight across the apex into Paddy’s paddock.
Even the locals around here are now starting to plug holes in the walls because the local Met bureau is predicting that it will be bitterly cold. Oh Crap I am going to die. It is going to be freezing up till Saturday when we leave. So we are going to leave from sub zero and get back to plus 30. Boy that will be pleasurable. Mind it will be nice to get clothes dry in anything under 2 days on the line as it seems that hanging the clothes out just makes them cold and wet instead of just wet.
Everyone is starting to miss home and talk about the things that we miss, so the holiday must be ending. See everyone soon and we promise not to bore everyone with the 1000 photos in one day. Yes we do have 1000 photos. I love a digital with a big memory.
