PALIN INTO INSIGNIFICANCE




'Hi. This is Sarah Palin. Is Senator Lieberman in?'

'No, Governor. He is in the synagogue. This is Yom Kippur.'

'Well, hello, Yom. Can I leave a message with you?'



Meanwhile....back in the UK we have a slightly less benign approach to our elected representatives... 




'It wasn't quite the same. M.P.s were a lot slower than foxes, but at least no-one complained!'

WEATHER WISE!

Here's a great programme with our local weather presenter David Braine. Superb photograhy and a really good explanation of the local weather.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/tyrt8/

David examines extreme weather. The South West enjoys milder, wilder and more varied weather than the rest of England. Parts of the region enjoy ideal growing conditions for subtropical plants, but the South West has also seen some of the country's worst weather disasters like the Boscastle and Lynmouth floods and the Fastnet Race tragedy.

South West people are keen weather watchers. The farming, fishing and tourist economies depend upon it. But which part of the nation's favourite holiday destination gets the best weather of all?

SNOLAR PANELS!



Lower Treave's bid to hold the Winter Olympics in 2086 receives a welcome boost!

11cm of snow fell today...not much compared with what the rest of the country has had to put up with ...but quite unusual here. The strange thing is, go just a little east of Penzance and there is nothing!

We will be open for the spring..when these images will be a distant memory. So if you're stuck indoors waiting for the snowploughs to get through, why not sort out your holiday booking..you can do it all on-line here http://www.lowertreave.co.uk/prices.html

Anyway, chin up...only 22 training days to go before the Sennen Cove Christmas Day Swim...here's a reminder from last year...


Pete, Nicky, Julie, Norman, Nic - Sennen, Xmas 2009

...just looking at it sends a shiver up the spine. This year I will be training mostly with Lamb's Navy!

Wrap up warm!
