	Morning Jen I've loved it too ... Think they're all similar, aren't they ... such fun too. Oh Jen, think we have the same weather ... if it rains anymore, might need flippers! Taff, must be the same or very very similar ... dad (OH's) used to have lots of music by The Alexandra Brothers (Scotland), The Corries and more (Ireland) ...

	Katty, apparently clog dancing developed in the industrial areas of England and Scotland, then declined. Became popular again, there is a link with the Appalachian Mountains in North America.

	Morning Joanie, Wet for you too, oh hun ... tis here too. Dad's still with us, no news is good news as they say (touches wood, e.g. head!) Just wondering if the Dutch settled in North America, that could be where the clog dancing comes in perhaps?

	Snow is no longer seasonal There's a whole generation of drivers never seen it ! That's why its rare appearance now creates havoc
