I miss the weather in the south

Just a quick note from the UK.  Part of this weekend
was spent in the Lake District doing some hiking.
Between 1015 and 1615 on Saturday, it went from bright
sunlight to rain to sleet to snow and back.  It was
warm enough at one point to need only a long sleeve
shirt and cold enough at the top to need everything in
the pack to stay comfortable.  The scenery reminds me
of our western states when you get above the tree
line, complete with scree slopes.  The mountain tops
are still covered in snow and will likely stay that
way another couple of weeks.

Today was spent walking around Wilmslow doing the
weekly stuff.  I will try to get to Scotland again
next weekend.

I have been watching the Masters this week.  It airs
from 1930 to midnight here.  Having been born in the
SE, I love our weather, especially the hotter parts of
the year.  I will miss that this year.

I hope this finds all well on your end.  More
later.......
