Well - forecast was wrong, light rain now. On a brighter note, took a run out to one of the local caravan dealers and got a good deal on a new dinner set which is dishwasher and microwave safe so bye bye melamine..

Meant say earlier - good luck with the concert tonight BB.

Cold one this morning - 2 degrees but dry. Forecast is to have some showers later.

Have a good day folks.

6° here rising to 9 but could drop to -1 tonight. Dull and cloudy so far.

by Askit Mon Apr 24, 2023 9:12 am

Lovely and sunny here but only 6°c. Nice day for a walk.

by groundhog Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:00 am

Sunny start, 9 degrees but clouding over a little now. Maybe a few spots of rain then forecast to get better in a couple of hours. Looking to get a few days away next week, thought about a week in the Canaries but then looked outside and saw the van we hardly ever use ...so...load up everything we took out and if the sun comes out off somewhere like New Forest, South Devon, Wales who knows!
If it stays wet where we live is lovely!

Have a great day all allthumbz

Even better in Spain have a great trip. Just no idea where to go for us. Want something with great walks and quiet not bothered about entertainment.

by Dave 418 Mon Apr 24, 2023 6:01 pm

It was a bit of a mix coming home with gusty showers. Between the A19 and Pickering the wind was head on and getting quite strong.
It brightened up and the rain stopped by the time we got home but it feels cold in the breeze. cold

More seriously, check out the AIRE at Wroxham.
NOT a CS strictly, anyone can use it..

Chilly this morning - 0 degrees. Sky brightening up a bit and no clouds so should warm up a bit later on.

Take care folks.

by burlingtonboaby Tue Apr 25, 2023 5:49 am

Back in for a spray and porridge for breakfast.
Have a good day,take care iffy your traveling.

0 degrees and ice on car windscreens. Sky clear but fresh snow on Grampian mountains overnight

Spectacular display of Northern lights over mountains when I was up for loo visit just after 2am.went downstairs and sat in lounge watching it with a cuppa.

Off to get aircon recharge on management's Auris this morning. Will check if they can do the van which would need aircon machine reaching out to van as won't fit through door.

Stay warm and safe travels for those on the move

Lovely sunny morning here at BD, 5°c allegedly but feels a bit colder than that. Thank goodness for the wee emergency fan heater. Spotted Red Squirrels and Roe Deer yesterday, loads of birds that fly about too quickly for me to spot. A few days ago we saw a Black Swan and it wasn't a pub snigger

by Askit Tue Apr 25, 2023 3:21 pm

Warmed up a little to 10°c but, oddly, it feels much milder with a bit of light cloud cover. We had a walk through the woods, there us a lot of tree clearing going on after the damage done by the storm 18 months ago. We had look in the site shop which has the usual very limited supply of essentials GH might be as surprised as us to see one of them was a S'mores kit shrugg

by groundhog Tue Apr 25, 2023 5:14 pm

Oh yes sat round the firepit with a couple of cans of Molson toasting s'mores in the wilderness has to be done.
Like you Tony went for a walk in the woods this morning, only twenty minutes from home but never been before, it was really lovely with primroses and bluebells.
Booked to go away next week, only just up the road to Tinwheeler country just across the river from Fowey.
Again an area I don't really know well and less than 90 minutes away.
Thought about you Ian with the C130 in Sudan, when the press start slating people for taking too much time do they really have any concept of the logistics involved. I fear not.
Have a great time everyone on the road and if you are not then get planning.

Bit brisk this morning. 1 degree and dull and looks as if it's to stay that way all day. Wrap well if you're going out today.

by Dave 418 Wed Apr 26, 2023 8:59 am

A bright but overcast morning. Hopefully it will stay dry because management was up early to get the last of the washing from our trip done and on the line. She did say there’s porridge for breakfast but it’s a bit slow coming.
It’s going to be an odds and ends day after our walk. I have a parcel coming and a trip to Screwfix is planned for some new work gloves ready for my repairs at the weekend.

by Askit Wed Apr 26, 2023 9:44 am

Nudged up to 6°c and quite sunny. GH, we come up here as our first trip of the year because it's about 40 minutes from where we store our van. The Primulas are fantastic in the woods but, unlike last year, there's hardly a bluebell to be seen.

by groundhog Wed Apr 26, 2023 10:04 am

Maybe just not a good year for bluebells or down here anyway we are a wee bit early.
Dry and overcast, going down the drains today that should be fun.
Have a great day all allthumbz

by Dave Gee Wed Apr 26, 2023 10:53 am

We have bluebells up the side of the house and they are just starting to come up now.

by burlingtonboaby Wed Apr 26, 2023 2:11 pm

Early start with Tag down the south beach and breakfast at the Cowshed, Fraisthorpe, clouded over again during the morning,stayed dry, although still a cool breeze.
Bluebells out in Sewerby woods,along with Primroses etc.
Have a nice day.

by Askit Wed Apr 26, 2023 2:40 pm

It's become quite mild and cloudy, rain is forecast to arrive overnight so it might be a soggy run home tomorrow. When we were up here this time last year the Bluebells were all over the place, I guess it's another symptom of how cold our winter was. I meant to say I love Primulas, my favourite is the one with chopped chives hugegrins

by Peter Brown Wed Apr 26, 2023 9:28 pm

We are used to gales and torrential rain at Newark Showground. It didn't happen last year and this year so far.... very unusual.
