I Thought it was Spring.......

......as like the rest of us in the UK last week was obviously just another blip. A week ago today was bright blue skies 16 - 17 degrees C and there were a few people sitting outside our local pub in the late afternoon.
 Since Sunday we have had bitterly cold winds with the wind chill making it feel like between -5 and 7.
Not going to win any fashion shows.......and yes there's Long Johns under those jeans too!
   This is not conducive to getting in the garage. I tried  to get on with the wiring  on the cafe racer yesterday for a few hours but ended up conceding defeat. It's actually trying to snow here now, though I think this is only the tail end of what they have had 150 miles away in Sussex where people have been stranded in their cars overnight .
   I am going to bring out the big guns - Scots Porridge Oats -. so maybe that'll keep me going for a few hours
