Weather

A mixed day in Forest of Dean, blue sky and sun  first thing,  chucked it down around 12, then dry again, rain again between 4 and 5, then dry again, only to pour down again briefly around 7, then dry again for rest of the evening. Reached a high of 19.

A lovely bright and dry start to the day here in Skipton. It should be good for a look round the castle and grounds. Maybe do some more of the woods walks later.

Bit brighter this morning but still damp and cool. Still expecting lots of showers later but the shopping has to be done 

27 degrees and sunny today, just about to go out for a family dinner, grandchildren have been playing water fights in the pool and Pappa Bear also known as me now totally soaked,
Toronto beckons on Saturday, four.
 hour flight so not too bad
Have a great day all

Nothing exciting going on here, rain showers throughout the early morning has kept us both in for now,still very warm.
Enjoy Toronto , big bear, have a great weekend.

Dry and fairly bright this morning with light winds but the gauge seems stuck at 16°c, mild enough but hardly summer temps. Outlook is for the wind to pick up and the showery weather to return later this afternoon. Nothing planned so no sweat.

Hope your trip to Toronto goes well and you dry off GH 

Heavy rain at times during the night here in Herefordshire . Rather cool start. Brightening as I write. Heading home today.

Patchy cloud cover with a cool coastal breeze, cloud covered the sunrise,however had a good walk with Tag, wasps all gone now and he's fine.
Have a safe trip back home Paul, have a nice day.

Almost an identical start to yesterday with light cloud, dry and bright. Little more wind and the gauge has nudged up to 17°c, whoopee   More showers are on their way of course.

Yesterday brought a bit more sun than expected, so we live in hope. As for "nothing planned", I really should know better  .  Our downstairs toilet cistern decided to detached itself from the wall, I was given instructions on reattaching it by the house foreperson. In the middle of completing my task, the gardener (who looks remarkably similar to the foreperson  ) informed me that the electric lawnmower had "just stopped". Several hours later, dealing with an intermittent fault, I checked the RCD, extention cable, plug top fuse, mower switch assembly, carbon brushes, etc. I eventually found the fault was a break in the -ve wire but, not at either the plug or mower, half way along the cable  . Temporary repair has been done but the cable will have to be replaced, eventually 

It seems to a pattern this trip with rain during the night but dry enough during the day do some walking. This morning in Pateley Bridge it was overcast with a bit of drizzle that dried up quickly.Half way round the walk it drizzled again just long enough to put our jackets on.
We decided to sit outside a cafe and share a ploughman’s for lunch. Walking back it was warm enough for an ice cream in the park without jackets or jumpers. Muttly has now taken to ice cream. He wouldn’t touch it when we were in Filey. He only licked out the tub so it shouldn’t do any harm. 

Slightly damp at Silverstone......

Still hot on Vancouver Island been doing a lot of hiking and now remember how old I am. Noticeable how little wildlife is around compared to years ago and how many more homes have been built. Enjoy the GP everyone

Little change in the weather here, dry and cloudy and still 17°c. Might get better, might get worse.......who knows 

We've also noticed the apparent reduction in wildlife, more wild flowers and plenty of rabbits but hardly any butterflies and it seems there are fewer birds about. Even insects are harder to spot unless you are a fan of flies 

Nice bright sunrise earlier, cool sea breeze making it an ideal morning for Tag walking, down to the promanard and back, lots of vehicles heading towards the coast with Kayaks and ribs , no doubt these will keep the coast guard helo busy .
Have a nice day.

Overcast here but sun trying to break through. Calm. I fear I can no longer postpone Day 1 of the annual onslaught on the laurel hedge. Must also take the van for a run  - haven't stared it for a month since back from Orkney.

Cymro

I thought you were still stuck up on the islands Cymro 

Bit of sun peeping through this morning and quite a bit of blue sky showing. There is still a brisk breeze blowing and a fair chance of showers. Its cool as well but things should warm up as the day progresses. 

Take it easy folks  

Cooler breeze earlier and cloudier, with the odd spot of rain, didn't venture to far earlier,just a wee donder this morning.
Have a nice day,

This morning is a repeat of yesterday with early sunshine and very little cloud. My hopes of it warming up yesterday were unfounded as, if anything, it felt autumnal as the day wore on. It's around 15°c now on the gauge but it feels colder than that. We're promised it will improve today so we'll see 

Less cloud ,more sun earlier, cooler sea breeze making it ideal for walking,nice walk out with Tag.
Expecting the plumber this morning, to replace the guts of the Cistern and replace the bathroom wash hand basin taps.
Have a nice day.
Boaby

Hope the plumber turned up Boaby 

Bit overcast this morning with a stiff breeze blowing. The temp is creeping up so it may well warm up later but it's looking like another unsettled day, might be sunny, might be wet. 

Not sure if I have anything to do today, not had my instructions yet 

Plumber running late Tony, however replaced everything as required, amazing how clean everything comes up with abit of Sainburys bathroom cleaner.
Earlier start with Tag ,then of to Scarborough Puggie main dealer for a 6 year van service,had to wait until the workshop cleared the ramp due to a knackered VW.
Very windy and warm again.
Have a nice day.

Overcast,breezy and mild,nice walk out with Tag down to Sewerby cricket grounds and back for softies and bacon.
Have a nice day.

Well yesterday never did warm up, in fact it as more like October/November than July. It was very cool with a strong northerly wind blowing. This morning is looking a bit better with a bit of broken cloud and plenty of blue sky. Bit warmer too at 17°c.

Got the new cable ordered for the gardener's lawnmower yesterday, she said "it looks very short, only 12m"   I fitted it, tested it, checked it was working ok and finally measured the old cable. It's 10m long, guess how much fun I got telling the gardener that 

In Peak District for a few days before moving on to  North Wales for 10 days. Very wet and breezy night after mixed day yesterday with lots of light showers. Hoping for a less wet day today. Shorts and jumper seem appropriate  at the moment.

Have a good day

After spending five weeks in the thirties, I've retained shorts and sandles but jumper and occasional fleece have been essential this week. Hopefully warmer in Cambrigeshire over the weekend.
