Stockton NE. blue skies sunshine and I believe spring has gone elsewhere this year we went from winter to summer, today as yesterday 17-19C very warm for us, short sleeves windows open to catch the light breeze off the North Sea. If you had seen Celandines spread as quickly as I did you would tear them out, they flower then disappear only their root system is creeping the whole time. I saw them go from a few plants next to the stream in the woods they were five petal light and delicate and year by year climb a bank nearly 100 yards and becoming seven nine and even more petals plus the leaves becoming coarser. They are thugs without doubt. Frank.
Well the battle between the weather fronts is now on in Manchester can feel that cooler air and more cloud and hazy sunshine now before the rain and lightning tonight
Hot, hot, hot here but feeling thundery with it - we are supposed to have some showers this afternoon but nothing as yet - we really do need some rain (at night of course) for the garden - imagine saying that three weeks ago!
We have had two days of wonderful weather and it is still gorgeous at 7pm. Why oh why did I buy matinee tickets for Steel Magnolias for this afternoon?? Everything is opening up and the garden is bursting with life though.
Funny old day here. Lovely and sunny this morning, cloudy with showers mid afternoon and now it's glorious sunshine again. Got lots done in the garden.
Can see the cloud moving in with the rain from Merseyside as I type be glad for me bulbs get a extra couple weeks out of them max of 13 degrees all week and 9 overnight
Glos - black clouds as the sun was setting. Some quite spectacular sheet and forked lightning and now it's raining. Luckily l had shut the greenhouse up, although it's still pretty warm and the automatic vent is still open.

Same here in N London first shower came at 3:30 then on & off till about 6 pm when the sun came out again. Still very warm greenhouse vents still open even after dark. Catching up slowly still lots to do.
