Will you post some piccies for us again - looked really good last year - we wont tell ICE if you do - and she probably wont notice. 

Won't notice    She's got a c******s radar   I've moved garden centres to one really known for it's fab displays. Not sure how involved in setting up I will get but piccies ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes   
 
If she stomps into chicken chat now with those big boots I'm blaming you Springlands

Ouch - that hurt.

I noticed the thread a while ago but hoped the C word was Cull  as it was about turkeys.

The norty step has been vacant for a while now.

I would be happy to work out a rota. 

[GrannieAnnie]

I bet you would!

Over here in upside-down land we always mention the C-word at this time of year.  If we want to have a mid-winter C-word with all the roasts and steamed puddings and mulled wine, now is the time to do it.  On December 25 it's mid summer and all we want is salads!

Actually I'm sipping on a glass of mulled wine right now.  Jamie Oliver says, "This is dead easy to make and tastes like C-word in a glass." But actually it tastes like winter. mmmm. 

[Springlands]

Enjoy the mulled wine Lindeggs - it will keep you warm when you join us on the norty step. 

Does it get very cold where you are in your winter.

[Lindeggs]

Where I am (Auckland) we really don't get extremes of temperature.  Apparently being stuck out here in the Pacific means we have a 'maritime climate' so we don't get very cold in winter or very hot in summer.  (We really are quite a long way from Australia.)

We just went on holiday to the South Island which has an 'alpine climate' and golly it gets cold there!  :blink:  Unfortunately ( ) we got stranded in the small coastal settlement of Akaroa. http://www.akaroa.com/fpnew/fastpage/fpengine.php/templateid/204

They had snow down to sea level for the first time in 15 years and Christchurch airport was closed so we couldn't fly home.  Hubby had to go to work so we hired a car and drove north along the coast - stunning scenery!
