Nr Lincoln. A cloudy overcast sky this morning but warm. We have been promised sunshine later in the day. We had a thunderstorm yesterday evening, lots of much needed rain, filled all the water butts. We have quite a lot of different type of country side in Lincolnshire. Not all of it is flat. Fens to the south, arable farmland, and of course the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds. A completely unspoiled area of the country. You can drive for miles on the back roads and never see another car.
We certainly have very diverse weather, as for cream teas my OH just can't resist. but it has to be clotted cream for him, (you some times get whipped double cream), with strawberry jam..
Hope the weather improves for you all in the south west.
Teesside. Woke up still dark started to turn over but looked at clock, put the light on had a double check and yes it was seven o clock? with the light on what is happening out there?? Got up put living room light on checked clock, it was seven so on went the bathroom light and shower, first time in months I have had to do that. Dark and dour looking cloud above although the Coastal front directly along the coast and bending back over the Cleveland Hills appears to be slowly coming more inland, hope for us yet. Not a drop of breeze and warm, the windows are open, When in that area once with my wife the waitress more in jest I think asked Devon style or Somerset, Joan asked what is the difference, I said right, cut the scone in half, pile jam and cream on that put the top half on and pile jam and cream on that where upon Joan gave me a left hook, I still ate it. Memories Posh though bitter cold nights on Exmoor need not be among them.
So sad to see the mornings and evenings getting darker I agree. Yesterday evening with cloud and thick muggy heat it was darkish before 8pm., when a few short weeks ago I was out there doing things. Still, it brings us on to the next growing season, which will of course be totally wonderful, with warmth, rain and sun in exactly the right proportions throughout the whole country and we will have nothing to grumble about at all!!!
Have had a good w/end in NEast Derbyshire. Weather was far better than forecast- the odd spit & spot of rain on Saturday morning, then a good afternoon & evening. I ended up watching a cricket match in a nearby park whilst OH was trying out his new camera.
Yesterday was warm & sunny & the rain didnt arrive! We went to see Well Dressings at a nearby village in the morning & a good walk along the nearby canal in the afternoon.
Today had a pleasant drive home 'over the tops' to find that it'd rained heavily here yesterday & the lawn was still soggy, despite it being sunny today. J.
First thing this morning th clouds were virtually at treetop height. Dank, dark and miserable.
But then - yippee! It lifted. The sun broke through. And we have had a lovely warm day. Made the most of it, since it is undoubtedly transitory . Ah, well, if that rotten rain returns (wet stuff, not our poster, Rain) I can always console myself with a cream tea. Strawberry jam, clotted cream, plain scones, Lapsang Souchong: heaven.
"Err I pass" Posh, Scones Jam and Clotted cream with Lapsang Souchong on top no thanks. Sounds a bit like those Camel pies we once had to eat although they always tasted of Bully Beef.. We Northern woad warriors eat some wonderful concoctions often wrapped in pastry but I like my Scones with cream and jam nothing else. My daughter was here for lunch and she mentioned the scones we got at Windermere, they were indeed good but although they served a jug of clotted cream they spoilt it with one of those little pots of Hotel Jam, I was telling her the Devon-Somerset Jam always strawberry came warm and runny you spooned it on. The weather here in Stocken did brighten to a grey sky and rain then when that passed over we got blue sky and sun, it all looks more promising for tomorrow we will see.
Teesside has sunshine blue sky with some white cloud, so no lights needed this morning. The windows are open and it is warm, I think some of the light must be from the huge golden glow of the Crocosmia Jackanapes which this year has gone wild, most of it will need to come out after it has flowered.
Went to the allotment holders show on saturday.It was brilliant so many people attended and the refreshment stall did a roaring trade in homemade cakes and teas, i was in charge of the cakes so luckt there was any left to sell. Worthing weather today is a bit overcast at the mo but the sun is trying to come out. Will get the ironing done before it gets too hot then i will potter in the garden.
