mullethunter Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 OK here yesterday - warm out of the wind. Rubbish today though. Cool and very heavy showers. Very dark this morning. Feels like autumn. Bah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yesterday was nice, not as sunny as predicted but pleasantly warm and no rain until the evening. Today, on the other hand , dull, drizzling and autumnal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 A bit miserable and cool here too; I hope we get one last blast at summer before I have to put my shorts away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Definitely Autumn.... chilly and blustery this morning, and all the swallows and house martins have packed their bags and gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Definitely Autumn.... chilly and blustery this morning, and all the swallows and house martins have packed their bags and gone Oh no there were lots here on Friday granddaughters and I watched them swooping across the fields when we were walking. Chilly here too, going to Tolethorpe tonight (open air Shakespeare theatre) so might need my thermals on It is a late birthday treat, I was hoping for a picnic on the lawns first on a lovely summer evening Oh well it should be fun with OH DD DS and their partners.

mullethunter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Very autumnal here too. Swifts have left but swallows and martins still around. Went to the Red a Bull Air Race at Ascot yesterday where it was distinctly chilly by the time it got to the finals at 5 o clock and the sun was off the grandstand.

The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 There are still some left - stragglers I think. The starlings are sitting on wires and aerials, making their holiday noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Very autumnal here too, I have cold feet today, and I looked at next door's full log store and made a mental note to order some for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Funny you should mention wood, Liz.... I moved some sacks up by the back door yesterday, and took the doors off the stove to mend the rope around the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thanks for the reminder, we need new rope too It is tipping it down here at the moment, YD has just gone out to the shops, to get some baking ingredients, she will not be impressed. and I have just put some washing out because it looked like the dark cloud had passed over.

The Dogmother Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Been quite nice today, between the showers. Cool walk this evening, and the house is feeling chilly so I have lit the stove. 17deg indoors is a bit cool, even for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Brrrrr, just 8deg this morning and rather chilly. I think I shall wear a hat when I walk the dogs in a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Warm again in the sun yesterday... if it wasn't for that cool breeze, it would still feel quite summery. It's 10 deg at the moment, had a bit of rain overnight and it feels chilly. Looks like it might brighten though. I love autumn but I'm not ready to give up on summer just yet!!

chickencam Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Fresh and sunny here this morning, I have been pottering around tidying up in the garden, it does feel distinctly autumnal now though. I have been taking down sweet peas and thinking about autumn plants for my pots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
