Wow Janine is that the fair that used to be up by Ewood or is it still the same place and I just never saw the rest of the park only the bit where the fairground was...lol ?
It is ashame Renae that the towns near you don't do anything... it's the same here for us. Brierfield doesn't do anything but I think their may be a fair possibly in the next town which is called Nelson... It will most likely be in Victoria Park which is where all the fairs tend to be throughout the year.

Looks like a smashing place to take the family Renae. Shame we don't live in America If I were you I would probably want den to take me back there for old times sake. Ah right Janine I am with you now. So the fair has moved. That could have been a bit awkward if I had decided to take the kids there without asking about it first.... would have thought they had just given up with it... not thought it might have moved. That would be an excellent idea but unfortunately finances are a bit tight this month especially after Blackpool Rally

I am afraid of heights but I Love roller coasters! ;D as long as the ride does not go upside down I am ok ( I get migraines on rides that go upside down) I love the American Eagle the Hughe wooden roller coaster.

Looks to be one of those years where we get no spring goes from winter right to blazing hot...you know the bi-polar midwest temperatures!

Renae, it does sound pretty much like it may go from one extreme to the other with no mid point in between. Could be a very hot year this year as you have said. Something to keep an eye on.

Something to keep an eye on. yes our weather has both extremes. The winter it is cold summer can be very hot. Sometimes in early may if goes from needing the heat on in the house beginning of the week temps in the 40's(4C)-50's(10C) to upper 80's(27C) end of the week where we need to turn on the air conditioning. which it seems could happen this year still below average temperatures for this time of year.

It is definitely something very interesting to keep an eye on. I know I like to try and guess how the weather will turn out and see if I am right or not. I am not always right but then again I am not always wrong. I am expecting something similar to you around about may time so lets see how it goes

You must have an eye for it Renae because I am hopeless at these things. Den on the other hand is usually quite good at forecasting the weather but I think that is because he has a better idea of what to look for and what signs are important etc

We had snow last night. It was a good covering where we are but it had melted again by morning. There may be more due in today at some point but not sure 100%. It's about 4 degree's C temp wise but am sure it won't stay around too long and will start to warm up as the week progresses.
73's, Zo
