The weather today?

Clear blue and sunny here, a bit windy. Warm if out of the wind.

I was not too sure. We were going to Willingham Woods near Market Rasen for one of our walks today.

Counting the dog poo bags left on the floor (there were 5 today)

And copious 55+ teenagers on their much too powerful bikes, meeting up in their Barry Sheene leathers, riding the bikes their mums and dads would not let them ride when they were 18 and revving them up as they left the car park.

1PM TODAY MET OFFICE APP...........16 DEGREES WIND 16 MPH 12% CHANCE OF RAIN

1PM TODAY BBC WEATHER APP........12 DEGREES WIND 41 MPH 42% CHANCE OF RAIN

NUFF SAID !

Do I detect a slight touch of jealousy, or is it good old plain grumpiness?

Bright blue and sunny and warm here.

Gotta vent a bit of good Grumpiness Kev. Can't all have a happy face all the time like Carol Kirkwood.

Ray.

Dull, a slight breeze from the SW, no sun to speak of today, light rain around lunch time it says. +4° at the mo, rising to the great height of 9° sometime later.

Light breeze, sunny intervals, April showers and 12C

We have sun, but still cold.

Blue skies and sunshine today. So welcome. Windows for new bungalow are supposed to arrive today so hope it holds. Forecast is good

Nobody has quoted the saying if March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb, let´s hope it´s true.

The sun has decided to show itself through broken cloud, but the bit of wind there is is bitter.

Nice n warm here (Belfast) - it's saying 12° but in the sun it feels warmer. Outside with my coat off for the 1st time in months!

Yes please, Jan!

Glad you are enjoying some sunshine, Jean.

Another saying is February Fill **** and that was certainly true. Now we have March Winds. April might be April Showers but we know not whether they will be rain or snow. Eeeek!

And I saw my 1st primroses on the way home! Reminded me of a few years ago when I'd crossed the Irish Sea to Cherbourg on St Patrick's Day n was on my way down to raynipper's - the banks at the side of the road were absolutely awash with primroses for miles. It fairly lifts the spirits.

Primroses have made a bit of a, human assisted, comeback around here. We live next to Primrose Farm and have, therefore, called our new bungalow "Primrose Lodge". I must get planting some primroses along the access treack that we share with the farm.

Cowslips are quite rare here now too. We have had to odd one in the garden which we have done our best to protect but none so far this year. Forsythia has gone out of fashion It is a bit of a thug for an ordinary garden but we have plenty of room so I must try to remember to plant some.

Magnolia will be out soon I expect?

I hope when it is the frost doesn´t come back, some years the blooms are so short lived.

Our Magnolias are out, the stellatus was the first, our plum trees have finished flowering, as have the apricot trees, hazel still has a few catkins on it, but more or less finished so spring is well underway although we have snowdrops, crocus, daffodils, Tete a tete, and tulips all flowering at the same time.......

Bright sun today, no wind but feels cold out as 12C, but beautiful sat behind glass........

More wind and rain here today, mixed in with sunny periods.

It's been a very nice day today, no heating until I just put it on, so we saved a quid or three.
