British Weather Today!

Eastbourne final morning for this trip. It's cold, dark and raining hard.

Off to the airport in a couple of hours.

Really cold here today in the north west. You wouldn't think it is June tomorrow. The weather thinks it's March ! Very cold wind blowing and showers on and off. 

Flaming June?
Been blowing a gale and tipping it down here in North Norfolk for the last 2 days.
Not been what you would call warm either.
Stuck indoors with the heating on 20 and nothing to do except reading about 30 degress in Albufeira.
In a word, jealous

Just been looking at properties over there - we start off low and get higher and higher !! 

I've bought a Lottery ticket tonight - fingers crossed !!!  We will then be able to afford to slowly drive down there with our doggie and buy a lovely villa for her and then bring her back when it's too hot.

Sun is out here now but still very blustery and it looks like they've changed their minds about the heatwave too !!  I was banking on that for sanity !

Heatwave??????????
Our highest temperature for the next 10 days is forecast to be 22 on Friday. Hardly a heatwave and it's going to rain on Friday too.
After that the best we can expect until the weekend after next is a lousy 19 but at least we might be able to turn the heating off for a couple of hours

Sorry to hear that your family had to be evacuted, hope they are brave enough to return now the weather is a little better.

What a change today thank goodness - a few moments ago I was roastin my rollocks off in the garden, whilst having lunch, then a dirty big dark cloud went over.  Just as I was about to get my shorts out !!  Ah well still warm.

PS - didn't win the lottery, didn't get one number.  Par for the course, don't usually do it so won't bother again.  Premium Bonds won £25 so looks like we're stuck here another month and will have to rely on the week's holiday coming up very shortly.  I am just soooo greedy !!!

Suppose I'd better get on and put my Petunia's in !!

Indeed I have and I'm glad to say that I'm going back in 4 weeks time for another 5 weeks.
I've come to the conclusion that it's the only way to get a decent spring, summer & autumn instead of waiting here for the odd good day once in a blue moon.
