on a more cheery note,

A heat wave is on its way, My weather mon is predicating less rain and wind and temperatures hitting slightly less than normal for the time of year but, that's better than it is now, so , our cup duff overflow , having said that my weather mon got his diploma from the 'Michael Fish scholarship for the hard of forecasting' college in 1987, When the village of Ten Oaks had to rename itself,,,,,,

Apparently, Britain is going to roast in temperatures of 20C (68F) LINK

Ayrton Senna's got the voice of a tenor,
Peter Snow sings very low,
Mark Barano is a Soprano
And Tomplum, Tomplum, Tomplum,
Is a weatherman !

Who do you believe yesterday in one national paper we are going to have a heat wave in the next few weeks .Then further on in the same newspaper we will be hit with a band of snow in the next few weeks What I need is 2-3 dry days so I can get the lawns cut

The weather is crazy. Yesterday it was heavy gusty winds and, in some parts, there were mini tornadoes knocking down trees.

Today started off beautiful then, at around 2.30 p.m. there was hailstone, then sunshine again.

I'll not be roasting in just 20C though. I'll still be wearing me woolly pullies 'cos I'll still be as cowd as a penguin's ar ... er bum.

Peter, I went out and cut mine, the front one cut ok ish, but my back one is still water logged, the grass is growing but the wheels on the mower sink into the ground so its umpossible to cut but, in the greenhouse the seeds are now seedlings, I have lettuce .tomatoes, beetroot, spring onions, various flowers including Sunflowers which, I will take to Anne when they are big enough,

The blossom trees in Poolstock lane are in full bloom and raining all over the road and nature is reborn , I hoping soon to be able to turn the heating off

Mollie, Its still cowd here too, cowd as a stepmothers kiss

cowd as a penguins breakfast

I was so fed-up with that hailstone, wind and rain today that I thought, "I'm Off"! and booked flights to Spain on Saturday for me and t'waaaaife. £31 each, return. S'not worth stopping here at that praaaaice. Forecast 22 to 24 degrees and sunny!

Tonker, do you have room in a suitcase for a little 'un? I don't up take much room and there'd still be space to pack yer socks as well.

Aye, it's still cowd here, but at least that flippin' wind has disappeared - for now.

It's been a lovely day again here - parky and windy but still nice blue sky

Where's "here", J3mbo? Can't be in Wigan.

No - it isn't in Wigan. Then again most of you lot who think they live in Wigan, don't. Right Mr Tonks?

Very true, but I am a true born Wiganner, although I don't live IN Wigan now though in accordance with Mr Tonker's Geographical Survey of Wigan Borough and its environs.

I hear you Mollie

I'm from 'Wigan Borough' but moved away to Uni and settled there afterwards.

Ah, I see. Well, no matter where you are, I hope you continue to have better than we're having.

Been in La Cala de Mijas for the last 4 weeks and here for another 2 weeks…amazing weather..32 degrees yesterday but cooling down to 22ish over the coming week…back home 30th April so hope the heatwave starts then…sorry if I’ve offended
