I'll have the built-in speed detector sat in the passenger seat :p

We all got stuck behind a particularly slow and uncooperative horse box when David chose the route back from last year's Creiff show (I think?) :(

Today is really v nice. Bright start turned sunny this pm. Sunday looks like "medium level cloud" 5deg C, winds from the north east at 7knots. Mon to Tues ditto. +++

No snow then +++

No snow in the west, though I was over in the east last weekend and they had a bit over that way, crap drive back on Sunday night -4 on the dis, and trying to keep the muck of the windscreen was a nightmare, washer fluid just froze and stuck to the wipers, been very sunny but cold earlier this week with biting wind, and as David said got a bit warmer but wetter today.
