Teesside has sunshine, some puff ball clouds one or two with black bottoms (they should name a dance after them). Zoomer we sometimes send some spare sunshine to Billingham and now and then a little over the water to "Rain" living in a blessed area we can share some of it now and then. Bushes getting a short back and sides after checking for nests, Tom's going into final positions and herbs being potted on with some new sowings. Just finishing my cuppa and then back out.
It's been a nice drying day here, no rain. The grass got a cut and I dared to plant out some dahlias and dwarf sunflowers, then checked the weather forcast, there maybe frost midweek
If you've started planting out toms Frank, I'm a tad bit further South than you so will plant some in the GH tomorrow, if I don't they'll need staking in their pots.
Dry day in Kent. Not especially warm unless the sun was actually shining which wasn't often since there was an awful lot of cloud, fluffy and not so fluffy. and a cold Northerly wind.
I ache all over - result of hard graft in the garden. Those **** weeds! It's the goosegrass that's the worst - I come up with painful red weals if my skin has contact with the leaves and getting them out with such fragile roots and such long leaves that cling to everything is a real pain.
But it's been a lovely day - wall to wall sunshine and even the cool breeze was fresh rather than chilling. And more tomorrow!
Teesside is sunny, well my half is I can see Eston Nab clearly but it does look a bit grey. The bedding is in the washer and I hope will go on the line, the Turkey breast ready to go in and will be served with roasties new potato's and veg, form an orderly queue. Zoomer all my tomato's are greenhouse as that cold easterly wind from the North Sea can knock anything down in minutes. I have a nook with a seat behind the greenhouse where sitting and contemplating ones naval is both sheltered and a suntrap so a couple of sweet cherry tomato's go there in pots. My Bluebells have flowered and they have crept along the bed again after thinning them out last year. The Bush Fuchsias are zooming up and nearly as tall as me, a haircut for them then.

Good luck, Frank - a budding poet laureate?
Sunny start here in East Dorset. Mr Thrush singing his heart out - I'm so glad because they disappeared from my garden for many years.

Bright sunshine here today - can hardly cope!
Grass to be cut, fuchsias to be potted on, sweet peas tied back up, weeds to winkle out - busy day ahead!

Sunny intervals here, but breezy - looks like the grass will finally get a cut
Fuchsias are out, but some baskets still to be planted up...
Mostly sunny and dry n Kent. Reasonably warm, lovely day to get things done.
