a likely heatwave coming around the 20th, maybe lasting until the 10th of July!
I read that yesterday and drew a big smiley sun on my kitchen calendar so that I would be prepared for this momentous event!!
Rain here in the early hours, early this morning leaden skies, cold, blustery ESE wind, back to jumper and berghaus weather - however it cleared by early afternoon, wind swung round and evidently 17° but only just now decent blue sky and sun. Tomorrow we are promised a very rainy day here, that's ok, it'll help water the bedding plants in.
Brrrr...it's still chilly and damp here with a threatened heat wave coming later in the week. After TS Andrea (all rain and no wind for us) we had another deluge last night. I'm praying to the weather gods that next week will be pleasant but neither too hot nor too cold (and rainy). Why? The Newport Flower Show and associated set-up, plant intake etc. takes place next week. The show itself is June 21-23 but the entry intake (known as horticultural passing) takes place on the Thursday, June 20th. I, and a wonderful vice-chair, have been organising the hort passing for months and are hoping that we have good weather. Fingers crossed...
Is he a slightly down-market scion of the House of Windsor they've been keeping quiet, after William Wales and Harry Wales?
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
My, you're a sharp one today [and every day ] My space bar never works unless I tap it hard, then the page disappears.
Pretend it's my head and give it a good old rap!
OT: very boring weather in the M'trollopes today - grey, a bit muggy, occasional drizzle...

Very chilly here all day, but only a little drizzle.
Big casserole called for tonight, by me that is.
Anna, cozes couldn't get that tray of greenstuff at Eltham S'sbury's. Perhaps it's justin Wales.
They bought two tired little gems. thanks anyway.
Yes and fingers crossed for marthe tohave good weather for the Show.
Thank you saly! The sun is shining here, tho' briefly I understand. The poor old roses and irises have been flattened by all the rain. Strawberries are late this year because of poor weather.
Anna, cozes couldn't get that tray of greenstuff at Eltham S'sbury's. Perhaps it's just in Wales. They bought two tired little gems. thanks anyway.
Saly, I suspect that it's just that Sainsburys sold out - not the fact that live lettuce munching is confined to Wales! But, I am disappointed that the shop couldn't offer more that a couple of limp gems ...
I see in today's Telegraph that the forecast contradicts Brummie Simon's one. "The unsettled weather is expected to last the whole month due to the jet stream. The channel of winds, that blow from west to east across the Atlantic, is further south than normal. This means that wet, windy weather that is usually confined to northern Scotland is blowing across the whole country.
Dan Williams, a forecaster with the Met Office, said the weather jet stream is not as far south as last summer and there is less moisture in the air so the rain will not be as heavy as summer 2012. However showers will continue across the whole country for the next four weeks as it looks like the jet stream will stay south.
Today's forecast of heavy, persistent rain was totally wrong. It's been cloudy, windy, but muggily warm and rain only started about 3pm, medium heavy for a short while. Perhaps the Met forecast via the bladder-wrack hanging outside their back door?
