It was dry very early on this morning, but it has started raining. Not too heavy so far, but wasnt planning anything outside today should it get worse. J.
Oh dear what is that pattering "oh" Its cats and dogs rain on the patio Yesterday the sun was burning me brown And now it is pouring it down.
Welcome to town Zoomer. Teesside dull grey and wet, the chap over the road had got his lawn mower out, I hope he pulled the plug before scooting back inside, mine were done in lovely sunshine before nine yesterday.
It blew a real gale last night - rain spattering the windows and the wind howling - made it difficult to sleep, especially as it is warm, but opening windows with all the rain and wind was not an option. Still raining this morning, though with far less intensity.
Suitably dressed in waterproofs, I inspected the garden for damage - and there was surprisingly little. The bubble wrap stored behind the summer house had been ripped from its shelf and had blown to the other end of the garden! Must have been quite a sight to see it flapping over the lawn.
Lovely day in the Chilterns - very warm,sunny but a lovely cooling breeze. Had the hose out at the allotment as everything starting to look very dry again. If the forecast for the next few days, sunny and 30degrees, is right, then the the hose is going to be well used! This weekend hope to start picking sweet corn, so a bit of hot sun will be very welcome. Hope this lovely weather spreads to you all.
Went for a picnic yesterday near Bignor. Absolutely lovely away from traffic. Today im helping out at the allotment show. Im probably on the cake stall which is not a good move as im on a diet. The sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze and all is well in my world
Teesside today? well an optimist would say "Sunny with cloud" a pessimist "cloud with some sun" as a gardener I am of course the optimist. Driving out over the river Tees flyover yesterday, I was looking at a panorama of the Cleveland Hills from Eston Nab to Roseberry topping, it looked like a painting as the sun lit up the dells and woods, I was quite mesmerized and nearly missed my turn off for the A66. I suppose the woman driving past me at speed with a phone glued to her ear missed it.
Lincoln area. -- Scorchio this morning 28c, now turned quite a bit cooler, but still pleasant, just right to sit out and have a drink, which I intend to do right now.
SW has had the worst of it: rain all morning. Warm and humid - low cloud/mist hanging around in the combe until mid-afternoon. A bit brighter by about 4pm - but it didn't last. Cloudy again. And the outlook is - depressing. Enjoy (!) the heat in the east while you can. Summer has gone into hiding for us (again).
Another beautiful day here in Lovely Lincolnshire, sun has just come out, was up early this morning to get some jobs done before the heat gets going. Now time for breakfast me thinks.

It was a nice day here, well, at least it was this morning. It was fine at tea time too, just enough time to water the GH before a down pour.
Frank-checked for road works on the A66, looks like it's open with some delays so shall take my chances
