THE countdown to the shortest day has began, by the time you read this there’s only four days until we’ve reached the winter solstice. The mid point of winter on December 22 marks the day where the days gradually get longer and the nights gradually become shorter.
EIGHTEEN months ago I wrote about horse manure on footpaths on my route into work, which I suggested was caused by police horses as as far as I’m aware I do not know of any other horses in Glasgow’s city centre.
WITH the clocks changing next weekend it’s safe to say that winter is on its way.
AUTUMN is well and truly upon us. The leaves started changing colour towards the end of August and the battering we got from the gales in the middle of this month made it feel like November.
We’re half-way through May and I’m sure the months have got muddled up – the squally showers that April is famous for have appeared this month, but in April in stark contrast was notably warm, dry with very few rain spells. How peculiar!
