Valkyrie Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 My bad DM! Rubbish today but nicer this afternoon. Although heavy rain this evening. Not sure if I heard thunder in the distance - I didn't hear anything else. All quiet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 rain most of yesterday today started of sunny but windy turned grey about noon now the suns out again but with showers but at least I got a bit more digging done this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Very changeable yesterday. Brilliant sunshine one minute and heavy rain the next. We've had hail and heavy showers this morning and it's very windy again. Â Hope we have better weather tomorrow morning. We've having a new sofa delivered and it's going to be a very tricky manoeuver getting it through the front door. Our old cottage is such a stupid shape... I'm having visions of one half of the sofa being stuck outside in the pouring rain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Good luck tomorrow Groovy! It's like heavy April showers that get blown along really fast. So wet, sunny and windy. Although mostly wet and windy. No point in gardening because it's all very soggy out there. Sometimes I wish we had a bit more sandy soil than clay!

The Dogmother Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 We had some lovely warm weather yesterday, but it ended with heavy showers and a bit of thunder. Heavy rain again this morning, with floods along the roads as I drove to my course, it cleared up though and this evening wasn't so bad.

mullethunter Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think today may have been the windiest of the winter so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not bad at all today. A little chilly still, but nice and sunny for the most part. Good to see the bees around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Good luck tomorrow Groovy! Thank you Val, we needed it! The new sofa was wedged in the hallway for a good 20 minutes whilst the increasingly frustrated delivery men tried to work out a way of getting it in One of them was stuck in the living room though with no escape, so I knew that they'd figure it out somehow! The weather was horrible yesterday. Heavy rain with just the odd flash of sunshine. It's started of drizzly and grey today. I just want it to dry out for a bit. The mud is driving me mad!

Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Glad you had a dry sofa, Groovy! My son is renting an old Victorian mid-terraced house and where the front door is, the lounge entrance is at a 45 degree angle - the other opening is for the stairs - no door, just a curtain across to keep the draughts out! So he had a huge sofa. It wasn't easy but they got it in eventually (a lot easier from his first top floor maisonette - nightmare that was). So I quite understand the juggling that goes on with the furniture! Â Today was OK sunny-wise but more hazy in the afternoon. We had some cloud - clouded over much more this evening. Again a chill in the air but managed to do some gardening and have a little walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sunshine! I have seen a brimstone butterfly so spring is here. Rain tomorrow - raspberries !!! Still nippy in the shade though. Bees are buzzing and it's lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 it was quite nice out this morning if a bit blowy got a bit more digging done.it's been warm enough for the greenhouse vents to be open most of the day wind seems to have eased a bit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Bit breezy here first thing, but lovely and warm at lunchtime, out of the wind. I walked the dogs across the fields after work, and the scent off the land was lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 What a fabby day! Sunshine that actually had some warmth to it! Out and about in a T shirt all day - hope it lasts.

Groovychook Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Lovely yesterday but drab this morning. Can feel a bit of mizzle in the air. Weatherman said it's going to get colder again as the week progresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Dull and mild here, had heard that we might be getting the big freeze from the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Lots of brimstone butterflies out today. Lots of bees. Interesting that the blackbirds are only just collecting grass and twigs (and pulling up my aubretia strands little ). Â Lovely day but you can still feel that chill. Had a look on the satellite and it's a huge nasty storm heading across the Atlantic. My neighbour has been in New York and sent me a video of a pick up with a snow plough on the front clearing the snow in the car park. I hope they didn't get the 2/3 feet that they were warned about! Â On the other hand if it does get here, it won't last as long now. Besides, it's snowed on my birthday in April before - a foot and a half! But that was when I was 8. It soon turned to slush and I was able to ride my new bike soon after. Â Can't get motivated in the garden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Drizzle and drab but dry the rest of the day, although we saw about 30 seconds of sunshine. Quite nippy out there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Lovely and springlike in the afternoon and has started off bright and sunny this morning. It's much cooler though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
