It's St Hilary's Day!
Jan. 13th, 2007 12:46 pmToday is apparently the feast day of St Hilary! There was an email about it in work couple of days ago;
This day has gained the reputation of being the coldest day of the year.
This dates back to 1086 when a great frost started spreading over the country on St Hilary's feast day. It lasted well into March, and is said to be the severest Arctic spell ever experienced in Britain!
We're all to take our scarves into work on Monday to celebrate, which will earn us a raffle ticket. The prize is a trip to the Ski & Snowboard Centre here in Cardiff (I didn't even know we had one...) Needless to say I doubt I'll bother to enter - I'd break a limb!
On the other hand, paid time off....
Anyway! As it's St Hilary's Day, here's a present for the lovely
phoebesmum!
