Stormy Weather

[Anna]

Dear Anna, we've missed you! Where Have Hugh Bean?

Oh, Missed you! And being on here as well! Sometimes, real life takes over and things have to be attended to, normal service will be resumed some time towards end of next week. In the meantime, we have had a giddy 14.6 degrees today, the banks are awash with the yellow of celandines, the magnolias look wonderful and thank goodness, it's finally Goodbye to dark mornings and dark afternoons, it's positively light when I get up at 6.30am

Perishing!!! It was 15 in Dundee.

Seriously, we've had an amazing spell in ultima thule during the last few days. No doubt it will be snowing next week.

Here in RI the weather has been warm and sunny by day and foggy by night. No rain in sight and the ground is getting quite dry.

Very flat Norfolk....sorry that's Noel Coward. Very misty/foggy Sidcup...... can't see the daffs across the road.

There was a sign up outside Saint Sprees this morning:

"Convent of Saint Mary Magdalene - BOOT SALE"

Warm today! Time for a short-sleeved shirt! Now where did I put all my summer clothes last November?

Here too, marthe! Though not as warm as where you are, today the relatively high temperatures being cheered everywhere else finally reached us here, with a maximum temperature just below 18 C (64 F). Leaves are coming out on the smaller trees, even the lower branches of our hornbeams. Very hazy though - pollution levels over London must now be astronomical.

Another warm day forecast tomorrow, except for along the east coast, and we can safely forecast another week without rain practically anywhere. Where are those drought orders??

A rather warm day today! 18c!

Morning O Wise weather one, and all. I looked at four or five areas for friends' weather and we seem to be the only one with thick damp swirling fog. Even London is sunny now. Can you explain this?

[antongould]

we too have fog - not sure it's damp and swirling but then in S....p you always get the better class stuff!

Very amusing AG! :)

Off to jamming this morning! Great! Keyboard mania!
