Weather

Some light showers last night cleared by Dawn, fine and dry at sunrise warm without a breeze..
Good walk with Tag,not to long this morning,back in for roll and bacon.
Have a nice day, take care GH.

Bon voyage GH, hope you both have a great time away.

Yesterday turned out better than the forecast, we had a few short showers but there were quite long spells of sunshine. Took our guests to the airport in the evening (40 minutes there and back) so we got our house back as well 

Light rain this morning and quite overcast, should clear later but it's become much cooler.. Hope this is not the end of our summer, still got a few trips on the cards 

Pembrokeshire was featured on breakfast TV this morning, as we're within the hosepipe ban area, for the first time in 30 years.
I had to laugh because the lady being interviewed on her allotment, put an umbrella up as she was picking a few raspberries, with light rain falling for the first time in a month or so.
We got slightly damp walking across Morrisons car park, but probably less than 1mm fell.
I'm sure it didn't top up the reservoir.

Much more comfortable with the wee sea breeze coming in the back patio doors, we had visitors to Tony, with 4 legs and prickly. Nice to get the house back eh.
Have a nice day.

Have a great trip, GH. If you're turning left out of Roscoff, the Granit Rose coast is worth a visit (as Gromit recommended to me some years ago).

Thanks all sitting in Plymouth docks as ferry running two hours late. People are moaning but they should try sitting in Vancouver Airport waiting for 10 hours for a flight. 
Lovely and sunny van is so comfortable who cares. 
Heading for Plouvorn by the lake if anyone knows that. 
Have a great day all

You, too, GH. Hope the wait isn’t too bad.

I used to work in the tallish office block overlooking the docks - on the left as you face the sea. We had a terrific view of the Naval ships leaving for the South Atlantic in 1982. Some we saw return battered and bruised, some like the requisitioned Atlantic Conveyor never returned.

Cool clear dawn sky with the sunrise coming up as we walk along the cliffs at Sewerby, damp under foot, still some dew on the grass.
Enjoy yourself GH, hope you don't get held up anywhere.
Have a nice weekend.

Sitting having a cuppa watching the rain tipping down, need a large shopping so would rather go now when supermarkets are quiet rather than later when sun forecast but shops busier. Need to go find a coat I guess. Can't remember last time I wore it. Too cloudy here last night to see Aurora Borealis.

Have a good day

Pouring down here too, as it has been all through night the night. Could however is in charge  please note that our garden is now plenty wet, thank you   It's also a few degrees cooler during the day and and quite a few degrees cooler at night. It should improve as the day goes on but we have no plans to go out, plenty of things to do indoors.

A lovely bright day with a cooling breeze here at Shuttleworth. It should be nice for the Proms tonight but I think we might take a blanket with us. My knees felt cold and stiff last night by the end of the evening sitting out. I feel like I aged 10 years whilst I had covid and it’s taking some shifting. No matter some alcohol with the picnic will help.

Crept on to the aire at Plouvorn just before midnight loads of space thankfully. 22 degrees sun and a bit of cloud. 
Tag would love it here great path round the lake and super spot for birders.  At 8 euros for 24 hours including ehu a bargain
Have a great day all

I'll let Tag know what he's missing GH, fortunately we have a variety of walks he can be taken, he loves Sewerby woods and the cliff tops.
Warm and sunny all day here,although to windy for an outside BBQ, did the steaks under the grill.
Have a great time GH.

No rain,no breeze, still warm and a lovely sunrise. Nice walk with Tag down the harbour and back along the promanard then home.
Have a nice Day,stay cool.

Rain cleared about lunchtime yesterday and it turned into a great drying day with sunshine and a brisk breeze. It was so cold though that I stuck my fleece on. Looks like a similar day ahead,dry, cool and windy. Our local sparrowhawk came into the garden for a feed yesterday, it got a bit of a surprise because the gardener was, out of sight, doing some pruning. She kindly requested it to leave 

Out before dawn after overnight rain showers, overcast but still very warm and muggy,dry enough for a good long walk with Tag, back in for a spray.
Have a nice day.
Boaby

Cool and dry yesterday but we've had rain overnight. It's dry just now and overcast this morning, still cool though. Hospital this afternoon for a test they forgot to do 5 years ago   Where's me mask  

Cloud cleared and warmed up to 23 degrees,washed the van ,roof as well,hose pipe ban comes in on the 26th, the van really dirty, so no excuses not to clean it.
Hope your hospital visit goes well Tony and all is good.

It was a nice day here at Lyndon Top. Warm with a gentle breeze until tea time when it rained quite hard until about half six.
Now there are lots of Pied Wagtails pecking at the grass. The rain must have brought the wiggies out.

Hope it went well Tony. 
Now in Chateaubriand in Pays de Loire, escaping the wet weather around it is 24 and sunny here but not so good on the coast
Nice aire but why do we always get the frog with the noisy television and banging around Park next to us when the rest of the place is empty
People are being very friendly with UK on the van half of them think we are from Ukraine. 
Have a great day all

Heavy overnight rain cleared by Dawn,still warm and muggy,nice walk with Tag, no sunrise to see this morning.
Lots of Blackies feeding on the wet grass, plenty of worms coming to the surface.
Have a good holiday Gh, have a nice day.

Dreich this morning, intermittent rain and drizzle all day yesterday, rain overnight. Birdbath has been topped up by rain overnight. 

Don't think any outside jobs will get done today

Pretty much the same over here on the West although the cloud does appear to be breaking a little so we might get some sun before the next lot of rain. It is still on the cool side though at 16°c..

Thanks for the good wishes folks, hopefully just a routine issue but I'll find out in due course. Glad you're getting a bit of decent weather GH, love Chateaubriand. Not the place though, never been

In Obersdorf, Bavaria a few weeks ago an old German guy came up to us and was most sincere and said how sorry he was re the war! Well, I had lots of options for a reply there but constrained myself!
Asked what he meant and then the thinks bubble burst! He'd been looking at UK on our (correct) number plate and thought we were Ukranian!! I pointed out there was a clue in the Union Flag, he laughed and went away!!

BTW to keep within the thread it hasn't rained here, realistically at all, in all of July and August. Long term forecast (usually a work of fiction), says quite a lot in the PM of the day we set off to Portsmouth and Spain!

First rain for two months here in Winchester (on ASOC rally) yesterday.  Today started dull overcast and drizzly, stopped at the moment so off for walk to town.
