Turned out very nice here.

Saw the first Stork of the year and the first pied wagtail and these little darlings.

And a couple of pictures of pom pom trees :grin2: a few £ ´s worth of mistletoe up there.

Had to drive out today but was a pleasure in the warm sunshine. Lots of cow-slips on the verges but taking pictures when driving is not easy or advisable. However, I did manage one.

Yes Jan - when we first came to France I thought they were nests.

You saw the mistletoe on my pictures as well, I remember at Christmas time in England there would be a little sprig of it in most houses, here I have seen these huge bunches hanging out side peoples doors.

Clear blue and sunny here today, very little wind and warm enough for cycling in short sleeves. Very nice but in July and August it will be uncomfortably hot. That's the price for mildness the rest of the year. The veg seeds we sowed outdoors two weeks ago today are now appearing.

Another dull looking day ahead until this evening it say, when the sun is due to make an appearance.
The temperature is rising to double figures, today it will reach 10°c so it says.

I am going missing today, too much bum on chair looking at this screen yesterday, must get motivated again.

Bright morning but due to cloud over I think. Temperature due to reach double figures.

Sky is white and blue so anything could happen.

The sun is fighting its way out here in west Wales. It rained overnight but should be set fair today.

We are off to a garden centre this morning as they are now open over here. We haven't been to one since 2019! The boss is quite excited by the prospect and no doubt that she will blag a takeaway coffee as well :smile2:

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

We've been lucky here, they've been open all through this latest lockdown, but only one has a takeaway outside.

 

[erneboy]

Weather just the usual here this morning.

That's lucky - I thought they were classed as non essential.

Sun is out now so a good day to go and get some plants (6 in total) for our pots. No frost forecast for the foreseeable plus mixed rain/sun so they should get a good start.

Ne'er cast a clout till May is out.

Clear blue sky, very sunny and 16C

19° here - oh, chubby fingers, it's actually 10! Beautiful sunshine this morning but clouded over now. Now that the kids are all back to school I'm really missing the entertainment of all the wheels in our local square (which is actually a circle - it is Ireland after all!!)

 

[JanHank]

Looked out to discover a slight ground frost, white grass, foggy enough to cut Poland out with a big sun trying its hardest to burn it away. It says the morning will be sunny, temp rising to 15°c this afternoon when it will be cloudy. As long as it stays dry and warmer I’m not complaining.

 

[erneboy]

Same as usual here.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

And here, might brighten later though, I was so tired last night (drug induced) I went to sleep at nine, got up just now.

 

[GMJ]

Blue and grey skies here in west Wales. Some showers forecast during the day...which will be good for my pots after getting new plants yesterday.
