At the ripe age of 70,and I have been a weather enthusiast for 65 of
these,
I have at last moved into the 21st century and bought a computer. Mind
you,
it has taken a week to work out how to make a contribution to the Group (
thanks to the help of Philip Eden and Ron Button I have finally achieved
it!) .I look forward to many hours of following the reaction of the group
to
the weather as it happens. Peter Clarke Ewell.


Welcome indeed Peter ... I haven't been here long myself but everyone has
been nice, and kind, and helpful.

Now that I have said that, some thread will develop with torrents of abuse
of course (:

Anyway, greetings from north-eastern Scotland ... recently the warmest part
of the UK (but not for long).

I've looked at your website and tried to pinpoint the location from
the latitude given.

I come up with Peterhead Prison - surely not? :-)

Seriously, I know that area passably well. Used to go birdwatching
there when I had time off during spells of duty at Aberdeen.

Ummmm NO! (-:
As you may know, Peterhead Prison is the male sex offenders prison (or
'treatment centre') at Invernettie.

I can however see it (naked eye) just across the water ... so you were not
too far out. I haven't got any GPS equpment but according to my digital
map, the latitude is correct for the road on which I live ... well, I don't
live *on* it ... I had intended to borrow a GPS thingy from a friend but
said friend is now about 600 miles to the south so, hopefully the map is not
too far out.

Birdwatching is a hobby of mine (:
There as been a bit of a problem this year as there was a shortage of sand
eels in the spring so not as much breeding as would be normal. I only saw 4
puffins (at the Bullers o' Buchan) ... and they didn't stay to breed. I
think we (I) have wandered off topic ...
