That's my understanding too, Chris. Of course, I don't have the advantage
of a batman (and we'll leave batwoman out of the equation, because you and I
know that isn't what you are talking about), but I can tell you that there
was snow all around last week (including, down your way, in St Neots), up to
about five miles away from us, but here, all we got was the view. A
compromise that I can live with.
We had vists from at least four of your Tornado colleagues this morning, I
think I know which landmark they use to home in on the ranges.
And thanks for the good wishes!

I'm glad you're enjoying your weather and the view, Piers. I always
understood that the weather was different there because the Great Glen
funnelled the Gulf Stream up to the Moray Firth. It's much colder to the
east and to the north.
I first visited that part of Scotland in 1978 when I was stationed at RAF
Lossiemouth on the Jaguar Operational Conversion Unit. My batman (halcyon
days) told me that winter that it never snowed at Lossie (because of the
Gulf Stream). Of course the place was covered with a thick layer within 24
hours ...
