Referreing to the discussion of how verdant England seems to be in the dead of winter I thought a picture of the palm trees in front of Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland would give people an idea of warm it can be up north.

Wow, that is ugly. Palm trees in front of a beautiful old castle? Pass me the barf bag!
I reacted totally differently. I think it looks very inviting. I wish I was there with a book, some weiss beer and no one to bug me!!
Yeesh, Canada really got the shitty end of the old British Empire stick, didn’t it?
Wow. That is seriously green. It looks like California in January! (As opposed to the summer, when California looks all brown and dead and like Smoky the Bear’s worst nightmare.)
OK. So. WHY are they complaining about SAD??? Seriously?!
If you get green like that in the winter, they have no business being seasonally affected. Good Grief, Charlie Brown!

But it is rainy a lot. And grey. And it can not just be about the cold but also because they don’t get enough Vitamin D from sunlight!
I remember seeing palms in Ireland and Devon when I was there on holiday. Also fuschia hedges which are lucky to make it through the summer in my yard were huge and blooming.
Mandy,
Where are you? Because it is grey from November through March in Detroit – grey skies, grey dead icky snow on the ground… blech. I’m getting depressed just thinking about it.
If it’s going to be grey, at least green grass would be somewhat cheerful. Plus it not being colder than a witch’s tit half the year.
And I know Detroit doesn’t get as cold as most of Canada. (the southern tip of Ontario excepted, of course)
And it’s coming again. I keep thinking I want to move somewhere sunny and warm. Then there’s a hurricane, and I realize that perhaps Detroit isn’t that bad.

On the east coast of Canada, we had 10 gajillion metres of snow last winter. It snowed EVERY day. I’ll take grey & rainy over that, no problemo.
Is that Kanye’s house?
MF I haven’t heard the term ‘colder than a witches tit’ in years. I snorted my coffee this morning. LOL
Beanie,
It’s a favorite family expression – probably one of the top 5.
Other favorites include:
He’s about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
and
He acts like his sh*t don’t stink.
I’m glad I could give you a chuckle to start your day.

Michigander fan, I’ve got one for you
“he’s as useless as a chocolate teapot”
Oooh… I like that – I’m going to add it to my repertoire!
Thanks for the tip!
MF
