    Not so nice here last few days. Tuesday's mist never dispersed, it was a miserable 7.8° max. Yesterday thick, thick, fog not clearing until lunchtime, then sun and although final temp said 14° it certainly felt chilly in nasty wind, today very thick fog again and just 4.4° at the moment. Hopefully it'll clear to blue and sun later. Unfortunately it means going out in the morning in Winter wear and looking foolish coming home muffled up in sunshine! Every piece of grass is awash with daisies and celandines, which look lovely, loads of primroses of course. Looking ahead we (at least here) still seem to be forecast mist/fog for the next week, I suppose because there's not enough wind to mix things up?

      It's Wales, what do you expect?

      Nice and sunny with blue skies, here in London.

        Here in Little England Beyond Wales it's been, er, nice and sunny with blue skies....To Tenby Golf Course a couple of days ago to see a Great Spotted Cuckoo that should have been no further north than the Pyrenees.

              It is unusual to have as much fog associated with a March anticyclone - which I can only put down to moisture levels generally following such a wet winter. As far as I can see we should be clear of it from tomorrow as the winds pick up from the W-WNW.

                Yup, 10/10ths here in Ultima Thule as well. Weird. And 10C colder than yesterday.

                    Not many people talking about weather these days? Is it because with the better climate, we are all out and about(except me?)

                      Mentioning how nice it is, when it is, is a bit like tempting Providence, isn't it?

                          No fog yesterday, although it dawned cloudy it cleared to a sunny but not cloud-free day and reached 16.2° with a lovely sunset The central heating was turned off Friday - I hope permanently - and I spent all day gardening and clearing up outside, the ground is still rather soggy though. I think we may have showers next week but it still appears to be staying warm. I saw several bumble bees and surprisingly two tortoiseshell butterflies!

                            Beautiful weather here too, but I don't think we've seen the last of the central heating. Good luck with your showers next week, I'm sticking to baths - old school, me.

                              A very warm day at Cheltenham on Friday after early fog had lifted. Back home on Saturday it was a mix of sunshine and cloud with a cold wind blowing. Today, it is very sunny but the wind has picked up quite considerably making it feel much colder. Not dispensing with the Berghaus or heating just yet.

                                Lovely sunny day here today, and although it's very windy, I was surprised to see the temp was a balmy 15º C.
