Like bloody Narnia this country. Always winter , never Christmas.....

Incidentally, a Southampton Brazilian footballer was interviewed a year or so back. When asked how his move to the UK was going, he replied that it was going well, but he didn't like the food or the weather !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I kind of assumed he came for the 10k a week, not the wall to wall sunshine , and chips with pea fritters.

Blowing like mad here - a showery trough expected to cross the country from the NW during the day, so anywhere could experience half an hour's heavy rain with possibly hail and what the weathermen always call "the odd rumble". (With my cooking I get them all the time!). Should be dry but a bit on the cool side for most of us over the weekend, then more changeable next week, followed by a colder turn from the 27th, with north-westerlies lasting probably to the end of week 1 in May. Best to wait until that point for putting out the hardy annuals, then!

Yesterday evening and overnight was horrible here. A drizzly and windy day then angry yellow clouds and suddenly, around 8pm, developed into gale force winds and heavy rain. When I went to bed around 11.30 it was nightmarish, howling wind, creaks, thuds and bangs from outside, the trees whipping back and forth and a large tree came down, luckily in the park, not a road, plenty of large branches down everywhere too. It continued this morning until around half-ten when the heavy rain stopped, still has been very windy at 28 gusting to 45mph and that wind is cold! However, it is reasonably sunny now, magnolias are just on the verge of opening, hope they will not get frosted.

It was windy here too - nothing like as much, thankfully, but we have that line squall passing across right now. So far some rain and pea-sized hail, and I'm just waiting for lightning... here come more gusts followed by the torrents... any time now?? Temperature drop from 14 C to 8 C in minutes!

2 mins later - ah, there it goes: almost simultaneous lightning and thunder!

17 mins later - bright sunshine now, almost calm, clouds flattened out and widely-spaced to the west, the storm line - which produced just two lighning flashes, both nearly overhead - appearing in the guise of a beautiful gigantic polar bear as it moves away to the east. I always have a sixth sense when it comes to thunder.

T-shirt weather heading your way. It's now warm enough to garden without having to wear multiple layers of sweaters, jackets etc. Beautiful sunny, warm day here. Drizzle is forecast for tomorrow, though. I can hear the sound of a mower somewhere in the neighborhood. Time to get the lawn cleaned up.

[Petrushka]

Very strong winds indeed here today. Let's hope Marthe is right in her prediction!

Hummm... I think we'll have to wait until the second week of May, to find out if Marthe is right!
