Dry up the coast here this morning, nice walk with Tag earlier.

Watching the breakfast news, they're doing a story on the swimmers going into the North sea for a dip at Whitby this morning. Not tempted Boaby 

I think I would seize up and be looking for a welder Tony,      North Sea is far to cold for me

I nearly had that problem getting into the water at Prestwick, and that was in July    Mind you, back in the 70s there were bigger dangers in the water around that coast 

We used swim at the beach in Seamill Tony and up the coast near Troon, didn't know Glasgow city council were dumping jobbies just of the coast in those days.
Used to sail out and watch the Basking sharks too, great fun.
Misty here ,after a dreich start.

Nice cool dry morning, mist has cleared.
All the best for 2020.

We've got a sharp frost this morning but it's warming up (apparently) 

Looks like a decent bit of weather tomorrow so the New Years Day walk is on, unless something gets in the way   

Happy new year folks 

It’s a bit cold and frosty in Thornton le Dale. The cold water was a bit slow to run this morning, management wasn’t impressed with the shower. It wouldn’t stay the same temperature, mostly hot. After Aussie it nice to be out in the cold crisp air. Bussing it to Whitby for lunch today. Should be nice up there.
I think the swim in the sea will be for another day!!!!.

Turned out nice and sunny, that's the last of the washing out for 2019, still chilly
Enjoy Whitby, should be a nice run.

Rather breezy today, so much so that the A1 has been closed from Edinburgh to the Scottish borders. Despite that, a couple of high sided vehicles ignored the restrictions and have been blown over. No telling some folk 

It's been dry since Friday, not too windy, only showers , been caught out on the old FRB in a artic heading north, had to stop and change my shorts in Kinross.

Dreich start to the day, turned out nice and sunny, nice breeze.

Beautiful day here today, clear blue sky and sunshine but only 7 degrees.

We had a decent enough day but it started with a sharp frost. Heavy rain on the way so we might not get to see the "wolf" full moon tonight.

Sea mist and light cloud cover is covering the full moon, chilled down to 3 degrees.   
Boaby

Cold and bright start to the day but we've been warned to batten down the hatches as storm Brendan is due to hit us in a couple of hours. The week ahead is more of the same with strong winds and heavy rain. Just have to get on with my knitting 

Chilly start to the day, over cast and breezy, rain on the way.
Boaby

Brendan's been here for the last couple of hours and I can't believe how wild it is, even on the northern sheltered site of our place.
We're well used to a battering from the Atlantic storms on this west coast but at the moment these 60mph winds feel like some of the worst for a while. The accompanying deluge has just arrived too, so it looks like we're going to get a proper soaking, as we have to head into town this afternoon. 

Need to batten yourself down NB, family on the west coast of Scotland are taking a battering .
Boaby

Wow, that was a wild one, but thankfully Brendan has bin and gone - literally.
Our bin has gone - well actually 3 of them went but one is still on the run somewhere.
64 mph recorded just down the coast at Milford Haven and that place really is a haven.
We're fully exposed and higher in elevation, so I reckon on around 70 mph today.
However, we're in for another battering tomorrow, which the Met Office are saying will bring stronger winds!

Hope your rellies north of the border fare OK Boaby.

Been and gone here for the time being as well, yellow warning from midday to midnight tomorrow. Was going up the M6 to the lakes tomorrow but might leave it till Wednesday.

Son had to gather up the wheelie bins too NB and clear away fallen tree branches, sea weed ,otherwise didn't fair to badly.
Some wee boaties washed up on the shore ,son says.
Fine here,after a chilly morning, rain to come.
Boaby

It looks like your son will have a continued battering Boaby.
Today's forecast storm here wasn't much at all thankfully - certainly nothing like yesterday's.
Had a good scout around this afternoon and found all the missing items, including the food-waste bin lid which was trapped against the front wheels of the 'van.
Hoping for a settled spell for our trip to Cardiff next week and hopefully Paul will have a pleasant trip to the lakes too.

Hardly a storm here today considering the weather warnings. Decided the lakes is too far for 3 nights now so staying more local till the weekend. Forecast is for brighter but colder, prefer that to wet and windy.

Dreich now, after a dry start,some sea mist, son has plenty of wood for his wood burning stove he says.
Boaby

Worst weather i have had for many a year. Left for France tuesday. Ferry trouble due to high winds. Had to use the tug to help.one hour delay.Same high winds in France. Blowing head wind all the time. Thousands of lorries waiting to cross.
Maybe just in time deliveries will be late
Calm now going past Rouen.

Must admit that we've become wimps and have become fair weather travellers. We used to go away every January, up north or down to the Lakes. We even BBQed outside one year when it was -26°c but the last occasion finished us with that. We were in a small village in the Cumbrian fells, the local shops shut early, it was perishing with horizontal sleet, when it was light you could see nothing and it got dark at 3pm then the local pub manager decided there was not enough custom to either open before 7pm or serve food at all. We thought, why are we doing this and not sitting at home in comfort and warmth?

Anyway, it's cold and dry today but we have another weather warning for tomorrow. Better tie the bins down  

Cold, dry  and sunny today so we left for Nantwich. Just as I'm writing this it's started to rain (it lasted less than a minute) but we're cozy inside now having arrived 30 minutes ago.
