Good morning everyone 
Fairly bright here for a change and the relatively mild weather has gone.
Our church curate, having completed her 3 years curacy period, has moved to Nailsworth a week ago. After a long time Google maps has corrected the name of a road there - BBC article:

The new vicar's church is shown on the map - unlikely that she had any effect on Google's change 
I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning very windy here this morning. Iām listening to love songs on radio 2, as usual during a Sunday lay in 
bliss!
El, I hope your old curate is going to be happy and successful in her new church, and I hope the new one settles in well
Good morning everyone, gale force winds here, they have been blowing all night long and they are still very strong.
Enjoy your day everyone
Hope all is safe & secure squiggle! itās getting wild here, Iām about to walk bramble but Iām wrapping up like an Eskimo to do it!
Thanks Summer, though we've yet to have a new curate. In the local diocese priests and deacons are ordained at Petertide which would be the Saturday/Sunday closest to June 29th. A deacon is the first stage of ordination and that's on the Sunday. At that stage they cannot officiate at communion services. If all goes well, a year later they are ordained as priests on the Saturday. That's so the following day they can officiate at their first Sunday communion. Typically during the year as deacon and then two years as priest they are working as a curate before going off to be a vicar at another benefice. I'm using the words curate and vicar as that's the case in our church but the terms can vary in other churches.
So we won't get another curate until the end of June and that's assuming we get one.
As you and Squiggle say it's very windy and it was noticeably colder coming back from church than when going there.
Afternoon all
Squiggle, itās sunny here but cold with blustery winds.
Sensible to wrap up warm before your walk, Summer
El, I hope your curate settles in well at her new church.
Have a good day, everyone.

A happy 263rd birthday to Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, his baptismal name rather than the more familiar name he called himself as an adult.
loveee Mozart
night everybody summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone, a bright morning but with a bitterly cold wind really making it feel so cold.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, I think we are in for a cold spell this week. Sleet or snow is widely forecast. Temperatures in my area vary between weather sites with some colder (so snow) and others not as cold (so sleet with any snow tending to melt). Main risk could be ice at lower levels.
Good morning everyone
Very frosty today. Just watched a neighbour spend 10 minutes, scraping the ice off his car windows.
Have a good day, all.
Amber, the red panda cub who had escaped from Belfast zoo, has been found safe and well in a garden about a mile from the zoo:

Good morning everyone
Very cloudy here and rain/sleet is expected today. Seems to be during the day rather than tonight so less likely to be snow. At present it's Thursday which seems to be a snow day and Friday remaining cold so snow may not melt,
Great swan photos Moonie
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning cold, grey and just starting up snow here. Iām glad I enjoyed yesterdayās beautiful weather to the fullest
aw can you imagine how it would feel to find a baby panda in your garden?! 
Iām glad they got her back home safely
Good morning everyone, lots of grey cloud this morning but no frost. I think there's a possibility of sleet later but not much chance of snow, I hope. Lovely pictures Moonie and EL. It must have given the residents a bit of a shock looking out of the window and seeing a red panda.
Enjoy your day everyone
Oooooh so cute!
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros
Hug for any night owls

Good morning everyone
Cold and frosty here, no snow but there's bits of ice on the road. Forecast snow on Thursday evening/early Friday in my area - not expected to be deep but likely to cause problems on the roads.
I hope everyone has a good day and that for those in the snowy areas aren't inconvenienced
Looks as if I've been able to get that tax sorted out for the client with the pensions excess tax charge. Lengthy phone call to HMRC yesterday. It was clear that it was particularly complicated probably due to the way the self assessment computer system and the PAYE tax code computer system interact with each other. I think the tax code system transmits information to the self assessment system but that there's a delay before the self assessment system recognises that information.
Good morning everyone, we've had a sprinkling of snow in the area but none here so far. As usual it begins to cause chaos, this time on the main link road to the M5. Majestic clouds moving slowly across the sky, some of them look as if they mean business but it's rain they carry not snow.
Enjoy your day everyone
