Boaby, we need to do the winter shutdown and, because we use a storage facility, we need to get it done onsite. Given the likelihood of more wet stuff on the way, we're taking the sensible option.........and heading for the Lake District snigger

Looks like a dry cool week ahead Tony,don't forget the porridge.

Great day in the Lakes today, blue skies (remember them) and a fantastic sunset. We're awaiting a meteor shower tonight (according to the weather person on the TV we don't really watch Whistle1

). It can only go downhill from here biggrin

Freezing windscreens this morning, clear starlight sky, time for the LJ's I think.
Enjoy the lakes, have you got your speedos for a wee dippie.

No chance of getting me into the water, apart from anything my budgie smugglers look from the back like I'm smuggling a couple of pumpkins hugegrins

Still dry and cool but the sun is breaking through. When we were leaving home yesterday, the frost valve on the tank kept opening. It's that time of year shrugg

Nice bright sunny cool day here, Central heating on now, toastie warm, new boiler.

Another fine day in the Lakes today but we move on tomorrow. Serious weather warning being given for heavy rain on Friday over the North of England. We'll be in the Scottish borders so I guess it might be a bit damp Whistle1

Hi Boaby , thanks, that would have been good but I had left my phone in the van at York ! We parked up down at the harbour had a walk about but as you know by late afternoon sun had disappeared and it started to get really chilly. Left York this morning in horrible rain , dried up over the A66 and was sunny from M6 to home. Van and car are filthy as the roads round York to A1 had lots of mud on them..Job for tomorrow cleaning then time to tackle the interior door foil peeling . Never a dull moment owning a poorly made van!

Packing for travels in the van always involves clothes for all occasions wet or dry no what time of year. Packing for our trip down under for a month and a half we are taking a lot less. No wellies or waterproofs or jumpers.
Last time we were there it took less time to dry wet clothes after it rained than finding waterproofs or brollies.
Coming back into Manchester in late December will be a bit of a shock to the system.I hope the heating is working on the train. shiver

Once again sorry we missed you. shrugg

We live 5 minutes from town, all your mud will be from the tattie fields Kaspian, our local roads are deep in mud, bumper tattie harvest for Mc Cains in Scarborough, nearly every tractor/ trailer is full of tatties heading for their factory dumping mud for miles. tap_fingers

Hope you managed to get some nice seafood from the harbour kiosks, too cold for pookie hats.

Bit colder right enough, -1c this morning in Moffat cold

Not complaining because we had three days in the Lakes and not a drop of rain. Feel a bit sorry for the folk wanting to enjoy the Winter Droving festival down there this weekend, might be a bit wet.

by burlingtonboaby Fri Oct 25, 2019 5:17 pm

Not stopped hissing down here since 1p.m and forecasted for another 12 hours.,still it should wash the mud of the roads
Could be a frost in the morning.

After 27 hours of what seemed like none stop rain, it's a clear chilly morning with frost in the air, nice bright sky, stars out.

We've just had a beautiful sunny day here after the deluge of the last few days.

by burlingtonboaby Mon Oct 28, 2019 5:51 am

Chilly clear breezy morning, ideal for a dog walk, just back in, brew on, porridge on, relax . cold

Boaby. Have a nice day

Very misty here this morning.

Lovely crisp sunny morning here in the East Neuk of Fife.

by Askit Mon Oct 28, 2019 3:03 pm

Frost first thing this morning in Moffat, warmed up to 4°c by the time we were leaving. It was beautiful and sunny and, if we didn't need to be back home for an appointment, we would have stayed on a bit longer.

by burlingtonboaby Mon Nov 04, 2019 12:42 pm

Heavy coastal showers with some sunny periods, temperatures to drop overnight.
Very muddy country roads along the East Coast.

At last it's dry, after a frosty start ,it's turned out nice and sunny, although cool.
Not BBQ weather, tempted though. scratch head

It's been cloudy all day over here Boaby and just crept above 3 degrees. Thankfully the forecast rain has held off, though it's spitting now. 40 miles further west, at Lady Margaret's Park they woke to a covering of snow.

Snow covered around Oswestry this morning and snow falling in Wrexham area early on. Here in Mold , similar snow showers but stopped now, temp today high of 2 degrees.
Got to feel for the people of Derbyshire and Sheffield/Doncaster after all the rain and floods over there.
