Valkyrie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looked really dull and murky this morning. And cold, although the thermometer said otherwise! Amazing how warm sun can make you feel when it's half this morning's reading! But clouds broke and it's been gorgeous. Yup in the garden. Er I may have bought another couple of plants at Waitrose this morning. It made the nice lady at the checkout laugh because I told her I'm not allowed to get any more plants until I've put the others in the ground. She said I can see them! Ooooh nooooo I haven't got them really! And I still haven't planted them! Better go and do it before his nibs gets home. I mean who could resist quamash - I've been after it for years! It was meant to beeeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Miserable start to the day, but a really lovely evening. The swallows have arrived, and I heard my first cuckoo of the year this evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, the cuckoos are earlier this year. Haven't heard any here, but there was one in full voice at Goodrich Castle on Monday. Misty/hazy start to the day but sun's out now - sooner than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Was lovely earlier, now gone off a bit... it's supposed to rain tomorrow; goodness knows we need it. Was I imagining it, or were the birds singing extra loudly this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Was I imagining it, or were the birds singing extra loudly this morning? That's funny- I thought so too! Maybe it's to do with the new weather front coming in It's cloudy here with light drizzly showers. So much cooler, only 14deg at the moment and going to get much chillier by all accounts.

Valkyrie Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 3 D's here - dark, dismal and damp! But we are still going for a walk this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Turned out fairly reasonable, but I can see why they forecast possible thunder because it was quite humid - even the wind was warm! Glad we are back now though - not so far to run to safety!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Wet in the night, boy did we need the rain, but there wasn't much. It's been sunny and cloudy today. Currently 17deg, so lovely and warm too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Rain in the night, just 6deg this morning and quite cool. I see that we have a few days of cooler weather coming now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 3c at the moment and in the middle of a snow blizzard It has been cold, wet, snowy and miserable all day. Roll on Spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yesterday was drizzly with a heavier shower late afternoon. I's been mainly cloudy today but the sun has been out for the past couple of hours. Only 12 deg but it's quite a pleasant end to the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 10deg tops here today, it turned out to be lovely and sunny, but the breeze was a bit nippy. Sorry to hear about the snow, Ali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well it didn't seem as bad as they said. Hubby has a new app and he tells me it's going to rain for so long in so many minutes. Dry for the most part although dull. Did have a bit of brightness and it was a gorgeous clear evening - watching the bats out in the garden silhouetted against the sunset (of sorts - still clouds lurking there). Today is beautiful, a little bit of a breeze - good that will hopefully dry the washing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Which poor souls on here have snow? Was bright, blowy and very cold this morning, now it belting with rain and still blowy and cold... I really fancy a duvet day today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I was talking to my Aunty in Lancashire last night and she said that they'd had snow yesterday We've just got the wet stuff. Dull and showery after a fairly pleasant day yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not too bad yesterday. A little shower in the evening. Must have been wet overnight and a little bit this morning although it's quite changeable. Very breezy and we have sun and blue sky in between the dark grey shower clouds. Please don't send the snow down here - we've escaped pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yesterday was mostly rain but nice bits in between. I think there was some hail at one time - from the sound of it, or just really heavy drops! Fine in the very late afternoon. Today was beautiful starting off but clouds are about and lurking menacingly. Still sunny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
