Weather

Turned in to a cracking day, had a nice  walk followed  by coffee  and a long sit in the sun at Tittesworth reservoir. Looks like summer may have arrived  at last.

Ah BB, you heard we were stopping off at Forfar on our way to Stonie and got out of town fast, quite right 

Much brighter here too yesterday,  still had a coolish breeze blowing but the sun got the temps up to 20°c. Today has started in a similar fashion but we're expecting it to continue to improve as the day goes on. Going for my pneumococcal vaccine this morning and hoping for no reaction 

We had great weather in Stonie Tony, hope you do too, pool wasn't open when I was there.
Beautiful sunrise here and it's 24 degrees already, nice walk out in the cool fresh breeze earlier.
Tony, take a wee donder around the bay towards to old harbour theres some wee metal models of fishing boats etc, including a Viking long boat, I tried to get some photos the last time,but the sun was directly behind them. There's a wee model outside the site too!
have a great time.

You'll  be fine Tony. Sun always shines  in Forfar, however in my view Forfar  Bridies  are over rated, prefer  a good Cornish pasty.

Daughters are taking  the moho to Stonie  when we get home in a couple of weeks so they can go to midnight swimming at the outdoor pool next to the site. When at Stonie  recommend Bay Chipper and Aunty Betty's  ice cream , Both walking distance from site.

Warming up nicely in Peak District  with promise of Wall to wall sunshine.

Have a god day.

Thanks folks, we were there (Stonie) about three years ago. Almost got mugged...........by a gull that tried to nick our food off the bbq   The food from the Bay was great, clever system of ordering too.

Yet again it looks like my optimism was misplaced, forecast suggests a cloudy day. Oh well, at least I'll save money on suncream 

Another gorgeous start to the day, with a beautiful sunrise around 5, nice cool breeze of the sea making a pleasant walk with Tag, adult gulls are diving bombing again, I have to take a large brolly with me to deter them away.
Have a nice weekend,stay safe, are you going for a wee dippie Tony.

Light rain shower first thing but clouds now starting to clear. Stunning day yesterday. Onwards into Wales  today. Next few days booked at CMC site  near Porthmadog. Think it is six years since we were last in Wales so looking forward to it and forecast is excellent. 

Have a good weekend.

It’s getting warm already here. It seemed cooler last night and I managed a good nights sleep. Having the mange during this warm spell is going to be a challenge. The warmer it gets the worse my cough is getting. 
Muttly is going to sulk but I don’t think walking him this morning is a god idea. People always stop and talk to us when we are out which is nice butI am supposed to be isolating.

Loved the Portmadoc area although it was the 80s when we camped at Tyddyn Liwyn and there was an earthquake   No swimming Boaby, I'm an officially registered wimp and the water will be too cold  

Yesterday was cold and windy with occasional showers, it's looking much better this morning with plenty of blue sky. Getting sorted for the off tomorrow.

Winds got up along the coast here,still warm though, Stonie sea water pool is heated too 29 degrees Tony,so no excuses.
Coast roads are busy to Filey and Scarborough, I bet Whitby is busy too!

Lovely summer morning with cloudless sky, birds singing in the trees, bacon being cooked outdoors all over the site. Looks like a living the dream sort of day. Easy morning then gentle drive down to Barmouth later for a walk beside the estuary. 

Have a good day

There’s a nice gentle breeze here this morning so I think a short walk with muttly will be a good idea before it gets any warmer. We didn’t go out until super time yesterday because I really didn’t feel well enough. He is so understanding and must know there is something wrong because he hasn’t been pestering me to go out. 

Really hot here today, 20 degrees at dawn this morning,26 now, we had to come back in from the beach as Tag was feeling the heat.
We loved Barmouth BB, some really nice walks too!
Just had 2 coop fillet steaks, lovely

Roasting in Forfar and not a cloud in the sky. No idea what the outside temp is but it's very hot.. Hope we can get the van cooled down before bedtime..

Gorgeous sunrise with a fresh sea breeze, hot away from the coast, nice long walk with Tag and back for breakfast.
Enjoy this beautiful summer weather, winters not far away.
Have a nice day.

Thanks for the reminder Boaby, but the snowman can wait 

Another cracking morning, remember the suncream and knotted hankie if you're going out. Fortunately the sun dropped behind some trees last night so it was a bit cooler at bedtime.

Don't forget to treat yersel to a pookie hat Tony and mind the gulls.
Roasting here, 24 in the shade .
Enjoy your holidays were ever you are.

Barmouth was absolutely heaving yesterday. Managed to park along at opposite end from harbour with sliding and  back doors both open giving cracking views of Llyn peninsula. Moved nearer to town about 5.30pm whe tide was in but still hundreds on beach. Quick G**gle search for best  chippie then joined considerable queue. Ate fish suppers back in van withsea views. Warm night with all three roof vents  open, forecast even hotter today, of for a drive round Llyn peninsula stopping as the mood takes us.

Recently stayed on Llyn Peninsula.  Avoid Pwllheli (far too busy) and Abersoch (only for the rich and famous) , go to Aberdaron and Porthor (free parking at both for NT members).

Agree with Paul on Aberdaron, we stopped in Harlech mini Don and Barmouth too, then down to Fishguard.
North west Wales may be on the cards for next year.
Roasting hot here. Neighbour has just come back from Scarborough and its grid locked.
Have a nice day.

Another warm start here but dosnt seem as hot as it’s forecast. Maybe being near the east coast help keep the air moving. After our morning stroll I put the desk fan on in the front room to keep muttly cool. He really  didn’t like it oscillating but once I left it stationary he flopped down but kept an eye on it.

22 degrees overnight, full cloud cover this morning, short walk with Tag ,down the harbour and back, just to warm, no fresh sea breeze this morning.
Have a nice day,stay safe.

18 degrees here at present, slept with roof vents open and a usb fan to keep air moving in the van, worked well and had a decent sleep.

Highlight of the holiday today for me, trip in first class on Welsh Highland Railway including lunch hamper. Originally booked for April but had to cancel at short notice as SWMBO and I caught Covid which wiped me out for several weeks.

Forecast slightly cooler than yesterday but all comes under description of hot.

Have a good day

Great day yesterday on the Murton nature reserve, got a bit cooler as the day wore on but it was still pleasant. Not a great sleep last night though, started ok but a bit stifling, then we had rain (yes, rain), then gusty winds and finally the crows decided to entertain us   It's still windy but at least it's dry so we're out for a walk.

Glad you are having a nice time in Forfar Tony. Murton have recently had a new cook who introduced some very nice cakes according to my wife who is a regular there with her coffee drinking friends
