Tessa the Duchess Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hmmm judging by the totally inaccurate weather forecasts this year by the Met Office, I will believe it when I see it Would be nice though Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Absolutely It's gonna be a good year. The Oak trees are in leaf whereas the Ash hasn't moved. Oak before Ash, in for a splash Ash before Oak, in for a soak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Am I the only one who doesn't appreciate the heat? Give me cool any day, anything over 22o and I'm melting! I won't be doing much if it hits 30o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Woo hooo!!!!! You been doing that naked rain dance again Sarah? I hope they didn't have their fingers crossed behind their backs when they announced that news! Rooks are nesting quite high up too - always a good sign (supposedly).

BarbaraJ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I sooooo hope so ! i childmind and though its not good when its really hot, grey rainy days are so depressing and terrible to plan days out! the last 2 summers have been terrible for getting out and about, it always looked like it was going to rain!

Olly Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Sorry, another one here who'd prefer it not too hot! I can't cope with high temperatures, and travelling on the Tube every day will be really miserable if it's 30 degrees. I'd like it a bit drier than '07 and a bit sunnier than '08 ... not fussy, am I!

Space Chick Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've got a new Convertible Smart Car coming tomorrow, so I am hoping for good weather to have the top down. However, all my friends and family have told me that if its a bad summer they are blaming me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, all my friends and family have told me that if its a bad summer they are blaming me! We have one of the Roadster convertibles, as long as it's dry we sometimes have the roof down for no good reason ! We've also got a very old (one of the first in the UK!) Fourtwo, before they were known as that! It was DH's first mid-life crisis, the Roadster was his second..... I have the sensible family sized Grand Espace tank - I do use one of the Smarts though when it's only me or I only have 1 child with me, as DH can't drive them both at the same time!! Have fun, they are wonderful cars to drive....once you get used to feeling very very very small!!!! And it's amazing how much you can fit into one !

I have a standard passion at the moment, but when I saw they were bringing out the new turbo diesel cabrio, I couldn't resist! I have managed to fit loads in my boot, bales of auboise, flat screen tv's, loads of stuff. We also have the sensible (boring!) Astra aswell, but we fight over the smart! But its mine so I usually win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 I loooooooooove those Smart roadsters & am very,very jealous indeed Happily my car has wicked air-con, well, apparantly it does anyhow.Its never really been hot enough to switch it on full pelt in the 2 years we have had it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 We thought we had air-con in a previous Espace until we had it re-gassed (or whatever it has done to it !) The day after it was done we took the car out on a long run & when we got to our destination, the keys in the ignition, which was obviously directly in line of one of the fans, were so cold we nearly froze to them!!! Those were the days of summers hot enough to need the air-con on !! Our Espace is Turbo (newly replaced ) diesel - got to have a turbo to get the blasted thing moving it's so big & heavy!!!!

Oak before Ash, in for a splash Ash before Oak, in for a soak. We have been desperately watching the oak and ash trees here - the last two years the ash has been in leaf first - last week, the oak burst in to life and all the ash trees are still dormant As long as it's drier than the last two years....and not too hot....
