Memorable Weather

Andrew Pairman

Memorable Weather is a barometer that is designed to trigger memories. My Grandmother, Elizabeth, is ninety-two and occasionally struggles with her memory. She has a great interest with weather and often consults her barometer. She is housebound which prevents her from returning to her birthplace of Glasgow. She spent most of her life in the city and misses it dearly. When she taps the Memorable Weather barometer it displays the current weather condition in Glasgow. The dial uses scottish colloquialisms for each condition and triggers the memories when she recalls a similar weather condition all those years ago.
