Just an idea for a new type of thread, what's the weather like where you are today.

Here in not very sunny at all Keighley, just south of the North Yorkshire border it is snowing hard, (we're at 980 feet) very windy, and quite cold too.

Cloudy/sunny here today. No rain at least. The weather here for the last couple of weeks has been very dreary, reminiscent of NI.

All the reservoirs around here are filled to overflowing. It's the first time I've seen that in the 15 or so years we've been coming here. The locals say they've never known such a wet spell, not even in the middle of winter. It is certainly very odd to have had some rain pretty much every day.

Looks set to improve now. The temperatures will probably soar as well.

Yep, first evening this month we have the lounge heating on. Glad the Electric blankets are still on the bed.
As for your Bank Holliday Monday, I would stay in bed.

Misty start here in west Wales however I think the sun will win through. We had rain on and off most of yesterday afternoon but none forecast for today.

It’s ‚‘ orrible, Misty, Poland’s not there, the whole sky is white cloud and to top it all, raining. So good day to stay in and make bread.

I was supposed to be on my way this weekend, but even if it were possible I don’t think I would have gone, unless of course the weather is different 3 or 4 hours away.

Bright and sunny here today. We had the tiniest of showers yesterday. Bit chilly and the heating has not come on this morning. Bit concerned that we have run out of oil. Might make some noise to get Chris out of bed so that he can check the time clock first.

Ours wasn't on this morning either Pat
We've run out of oil :( Just been on line and they all charge more for a quick delivery. We could de camp to the van but of course we have moved it to the building site as the house is on the market. No leccy there yet but could just run the gas heating I suppose.
No plans today as of yet, but we still need to find a plant or two for Liz, had my second jab yesterday felt a scratch but so far that's it, we old bears are tough.

Oh dear! I hope you get sorted Pat. Oil is around 42ppl around here at the mo so would hate to think how much it would be for a speedy delivery.

I've never run out but I think you have to prime the boiler first if it has run dry. Happy to be corrected though as I'm not 100% sure.

Yes Sandra but at least we did benefit from a few hours of sunshine this am. Better batten down the hatches again.

Been sunny here but cold. Did about 30 miles on the bike this morning and into Richmond which was heaving. Oh to be in the south of France in the warm!

EDIT: Just checked, its 14c in St Tropez and raining :(

Smug git!

Well it had to happen. My lovely clean shiny bike is now soaked. I said to Michelle that the weather would turn so she had better get a wiggle on if she wanted a ride out. Anyway by the time we got out half an hour a go it had gone dark and had started to spit. She wanted to go up to the Farm shop up at Barningham, lovely village but higher up and as soon as we got over the A66 its started to rain then two minutes later we were in an actual Hail storm! There was standing flipping snow and ice on the road (Thank God for traction control). Farm shop was crap and I almost got stuck on the gravel drive and car park.

Now back home soaked. ☹

Still, its an adventure. My hands are the only warm part of my body now thanks to the Oxford Grips!
