I stayed at Houton Bay for a week last November when a huge gale hit. I saw my first snow of the year there. Funny to think that when I walked up to the the lookout point over Houton and looked over to Hoy, that I was looking down over your wee island.<BR/><BR/>I hope you get some papers and more jam donuts soon.<BR/><BR/>RuneRunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228525134009030894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-50560278719875003472008-10-28T18:39:00.000+00:002008-10-28T18:39:00.000+00:00hello,i am feeling the cold too.i live in whalsay,...hello,<BR/>i am feeling the cold too.<BR/>i live in whalsay,shetland so know what the weather is like up here.lol.<BR/>i think everyone here is just as obsessed with the weather as you are!!!sometimes theres not much else to talk about.lol.<BR/>natasha.natasha xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794720604298212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-2995560170808839322008-10-28T13:16:00.000+00:002008-10-28T13:16:00.000+00:00Well.....it really DOES look like a sleeping bront...Well.....it really DOES look like a sleeping brontosaurus.
