Thank you for all the reviews!
However, it's rather disheartening for me to see you have no snow ...
Bear in mind this review was originally photographed and posted in early September...
However we still have no snow! It's about 45F out there now, and yesterday I did some gardening, mowed the lawn (long length just to even it up) and sat in a deckchair in the sun for a while enjoying a cup of tea and some biscuits.
The lack of snow doesn't stop some idiots chewing up the tarmac with snow tires and spitting the broken chunks back onto my car, chipping the paint and windscreen.
