Winter and its Snow's have finally arrived here in West Cork. Having escaped the snow that has paralyzed most of the Uk and Ireland we have finally got a dusting of the white stuff. Thanks to the Gulf Stream that passes our shores snow here is a rarity, we also rarely experience the high Summer temperatures that other parts of these Isles experience in fact Ireland has only hit 30c once in the last five years, London regularily hits 40c.

Right now 30c would be welcome!
