We'd be doing it in one of the 31 day months I guess .. <br /><br />Your memories have stirred much - as I was growing up then too .. not moving country though, that came later for a while before returning to my roots.<br /><br />I wrote about the Zephyr in 2011 my first year .. and got defeated by the shenanigans of the Gods! So left it as the gentle westerly breeze.<br /><br />I can see why you love that wind up in your valley.<br /><br />Those windfarms with their turbines look awful - so barren and desolate .. and I've been worrying about the destruction putting them in - and some of ours are in the sea (mucking up the sea floor as well) - while giving us so little in return. Seems incongruous if not downright silly.<br /><br />That's me .. looking forward to lots more from you and your tales .. cheers for now - Hilary<br /><br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-41282588089075606852013-05-01T17:09:25.378-07:002013-05-01T17:09:25.378-07:00Yes Inger, congratulations on a very informative a...Yes Inger, congratulations on a very informative and revealing 'challenge'!

I love the wind, too, though the south wind is least favorite because it blows in directly off the Gulf of Mexico and brings muggy, muggy weather.
