Beautiful sunny day here, but a frost this morning.

[The Dogmother]

We had a frost too. Sun is back out now, but still cloudy.

[Tiggy]

cool here, heavy rain over night, I need night time temps to go up a bit so I can put my courgettes out

[Valkyrie]

Sunny with clouds - chillier, still breezy, but much more gentle.

[Martin B]

Very loud thunder and flashes of bright lightening here! I love it when we have a thunderstorm!

[Lesley]

Beautiful, beautiful morning

 

It does feel like Autumn though! - White frosting and sunshine! I had a lovely walk over to check on the sheep.

 

We had the same as Martin yesterday - a couple of heavy storms with thunder.

[Chickvic]

Gorgeous morning, a bit like Lesley. A bit of frost and lots of sunshine.

[Valkyrie]

It remained dry yesterday but we did have a cloudy spell for a couple of hours in the afternoon - the temperature didn't get much over 13 degrees. Then the sun returned. We could see lots of stormy clouds on the horizon, but they never ventured towards us. This morning is beautiful - just about to go out into the garden - hope it's warmer.

Ooh just a note - there is a programme on cloud spotting on BBC4 at 9.30 on Sunday. I have the guy's book - very interesting.

[Old Speckled Hen]

Rained heavily overnight but the morning is bright and sunny and full of birdsong.

Yesterday we had an earthquake

There was a large bang and the windows shook just like you get when a tractor and trailer rumbles by. I was drying my hair and thought that's just what it was and thought no more about it till I watched the news in the evening.

Exciting stuff here "Up North"

I love that sort of stuff ... must watch it. Thanks Koojie

I saw those thunder clouds Lesley and Martin, but they didn't make it this far. Lovely evening, thick frost this morning and beautiful now.

[Valkyrie]

Didn't hear about the earthquake at all - all Flu reports, so tend to switch off! It's all those mountains!

At the moment we have a few puffy clouds building up. By the way, the cloud man is Gavin Pretor-Pinney and his book is quite easy reading - even the technical parts aren't too bad. Some of it is funny too. I had it for Christmas (the one before last) and is called "The Cloudspotter's Guide", if you are interested. His website is:

Lots of fabulous pics. Eh? Just a mo - where's the sun gone? Come back . . .

[The Dogmother]

darn, you've sent those fluffy clouds up this way Koojie

[Omletina Kyckling]

We had lots of thunderstorms here last night, with a big hailstorm at about 9.00.

 

Today is blue skies and sunshine!

[The Dogmother]

*pouts*

 

Sounds like those storms went round us then

[Valkyrie]

Sorry Claret - I'm afraid those clouds are increasing in size too. Some sun still about though at the moment. Nice and warm when it is.

[The Dogmother]

It's lovely just now, but still cloudy - let's hope it doesn't rain before I get home to take the washing in.

[Martin B]

Lovely and warm in sunny Alcester!

[Egluntyne]

Lovely here too, but very foggy first thing.

[Groovychook]

Nice morning- hideous afternoon!

[Lesley]

Cold and grey this morning! The sun is trying to peep through though......so different to yesterday

 

We have rain coming apparently........

[Old Speckled Hen]

After a lovely day yesterday ... sunshine just made me go to the garden centre where I bought a mealworm feeder .... This morning is grey and cold Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Egluntyne]

Cold and grey here too. I was hoping that my greenhouse would go up at long last. Fingers crossed.

Here too, I didn't dare hang the washing out this morning.

[Valkyrie]

Yesterday after a big build up of fluffy clouds, they all got much smaller again and we had a very nice afternoon. This morning was grey, but dry - I thought it would be wet when I got up. It's still dry with lots of grey cloud and the sun tries very hard to shine through. Quite warm really, considering.

 

Edited to add 3pm and it's now raining steadily - 2 grumpy fat birds in the greenhouse - er I'm not in there!

[Groovychook]

We had a cloudy, cold, wet start to the day but a lovely warm, sunny afternoon!

Forecast looks good too!
