Thought about heading to gairloch for the weekend but the weather on west does not look favourable so stay at home hope for good weather and enjoy the garden. What are you upto chellie
Teesside cannot make its mind up. Blue sky and sun at seven this morning then cloudy and dull later, now the sun popping in and out with clouds flitting about like the dancers on the Olympic opening last night. What a show. frank.
Glenlivet is hot and sunny one minute then come the down pours you cant beat a british summer. Olympic opening very british doubt any other country would have got it but wasnt it great.
A dose of British reality today: rain overnight/early morning, then sunshine and clouds with a stiffish north-west breeze.
Enjoy the rains, Lisa - I think it's the percolated peaty water that makes Glenlivet so renowned.
Olympic opening: some of it must have had overseas viewers scratching their heads, wondering what it was all about. But - what a stroke of genious to create the "cauldron" for the flame as they did - and not give the lighting of it to just one - but to seven young people. I was in total awe - and so proud you'd think I designed it myself
No change here,it rained again. Hope it stay's dry long enough tomorrow to plant up xmas spuds.
OIympic Opening; Thought the queen arriving by parachute with Mr Bond and Mr Bean playing the keyboard were classics. Raising the five rings from the steel works, portraying the industrial revolution, was done well. I also liked the part portraying British music.
After so many people have been trying to get tickets, the empty seats seen on the news tonight, I don''t think will fall on stony ground.
We've had a lovely 28degrees all week and I've been down with a heavy cold & chest infection mixed with a little Hay-fever just for good measure since Monday! Due to the congestion I haven't enjoyed the nice weather despite having prayed for it for so long!.....
Today I feel much better, but now it is absolutely chucking it down here in North Somerset again!!! LOL .....
Today it's raining again in Manchester. It keeps trying to brighten up, but not lasting. Due to improve later on? I do hope so as at the mo a partially assembled huge coldframe is sitting on our lounge floor! OH plans to exit it via the patio doors, with help I may add, & site it for me.
Luckily yesterday in Wigan then Cheshire for a wedding & reception it stayed dry, after several hefty showers early on. J.

Judging by the roof tops it's rained here today but the sun has been out and it's looking good for the weekend.
Just waiting for the opening ceremony to start.

Evening All,
We've had a lovely 28degrees all week and I've been down with a heavy cold & chest infection mixed with a little Hay-fever just for good measure since Monday! Due to the congestion I haven't enjoyed the nice weather despite having prayed for it for so long!.....

Good for the garden I suppose
