    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    Glad you’re enjoying your rain @Pat E ... over here in East Anglia we have blue skies and glorious sunshine ... I’ve a feeling that @Hostafan1 over there in the West Country may not be as happy ... he might need his gum boots and a ☔️

    Hi Dove. We still can’t see the top of our mountain because the fog hasn’t lifted and it’s been very cold today.  There might be snow up there again.

    Our blue sky has disappeared ... it’s overcast now, but dry and mild. Thats ok ... we won’t need the sunscreen 😉

    Still no rain down here  :(
    My lawn desperately needs water but I know it will pick up when we eventually get some.
    No real rain that does any good for nearly 4 months!

    Morning! Yesterday became a washout after early sun. Today promises upper 20's and sun. Must feed tomatoes today and carry on tidying.

    Good morning all.  Wall to wall sunshine here and temps in the high 20s tho it feels warmer as it's so dry.   OH is out cutting grass before he gets cooked.  I had a good sort out in my "nursery" yesterday and have 2 more clems and 3 cornus to pot on and then they all need moving to a shadier spot while they await their allotted planting spot.

    They've been sat on strips of weed membrane for a year now so the space underneath should be ready for forking over and planting up.  We'll see.

    Glad people have enjoyed their outings.  How are the eyes @Yviestevie ?

    Morning all/afties Pat. Glad you've got some dampness. Nice to have a bit of snow to look at if the fug lifts  :)
    Wet here too, but it wasn't too bad earlier when I went out. It's that smirry stuff, but persistent. Plenty overnight too.
    Glad you all had nice garden visits. Not something I care for, but I know most people like it.
    Not sure I'll do anything outdoors. Nothing much to do anyway just now. Got grass cut yesterday and various bits of stuff potted on etc. I even sat down for a while and watched the sparrows do their thing. Busy little bees - a bit like the busy little bees....  

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Morning all,  After yesterdays sunshine it's cloudy and miserable here again.  I might pop to Ashwoods to cheer myself up a bit.  Have a section of garden that could do with weeding and I'm expecting delivery of some clematis netting for the top of the garden.  I really should be sorting washing out and doing some housework but I have a feeling it's not going to happen today. 
    @Obelixx the eyes are still playing up but I'm continuing with the eyedrops, it's just annoying now as I've had them checked I know it's nothing serious.
    @Pate Glad you have some rain, wish I could send you some of ours.
