Yes, it's a horrid day in Cheshire, ps. I'm in the NE corner. Where are you?

Well, I'm in Cheshire and the weather has been - lets just say not very good, all day.I am now home with the central heating on and it looks as though it is about to start pouring down.
I have always spent the May bank holiday weekend in Salcombe and have done so for years if not overseas, the weather is normally nice, this is just too extreme.
I suppose staying home alone has its up side with weather like this.

Log burner keeping us warm this evening.

Central heating on permanently, 23 degrees 24/7.
Went to the town this morning and was pleased I had put a vest on and a jumper and a padded jacket.

Col, wet and windy in Boston, the fire is still on.

Good afternoon. It is a truly beautiful day in bonnie Kintyre. The sun is warm. There is just a gentle breeze. The Tarbert regatta begins today. Perfect weather for sailing. Rory stretched full length on the lawn. All's well with his world. smile

noodles Gransnet does encompass the Age uk forum. But I can't see a button on mine!

It has been a lovely morning in the garden. In the shade the temperature is only about 14° but in the sun much warmer. I shifted a pile of well-seasoned small logs into the wood shed for next winter and got quite warm doing it. The breeze has dried the washing too. I like days like this.

It's still pretty miserable here in Northumberland - we actually had a sprinkling of snow this morning and the heating is back on again (it's never been off yet in the evenings). DH went to the greengrocers this morning before eight - when he came back he had decided to abandon his Friday cycle ride, so he's been mooching around all morning, getting in the way. May go to see new DGD this afternoon - we were going to go for a walk with the pram, but that's probably off the agenda now.

Dull and raining here in Reading.

..... AgeUK button has appeared on my Forum screen. I've not seen this before. Is there a tie up with Gransnet now?

Butty Fri 24-May-13 11:28:27

Started my walk with hat, gloves, scarf and fleece and returned stripped to t-shirt and vest, thanks to the sunshine. Nicely warmed up so straight into the garden. The snails have had a feast of my cucumber plants - all gone!

Sunny, scudding clouds, windy, not exactly chilly but not exactly warm either. Normal for here then! It's what my American friend calls a pretty day smile. I've been enjoying watching swifts. Boy, are they fast!

Ella46 Fri 24-May-13 10:50:25

OMG! As they say grin I can't believe how cold/windy/wintry it is out there.

Oldgreymare Fri 24-May-13 10:39:56

Clouds scudding across the sky, leaves on the trees being blown back to front, don't want to get out of my warm fluffy DG..... really fed up with the weather in not so sunny Somerset!

Gally Fri 24-May-13 09:40:29

Cloudy/sunny/windy/chilly Fife this morning.

Galen Fri 24-May-13 09:27:50

I'll join I the jump? My avoirdupois should make a considerable differenceblush

Galen Fri 24-May-13 09:25:41

Not nice here.

mollie Fri 24-May-13 09:12:05

I'd say sooner the better Stansgran! Trouble is, who will do the pushing and in which direction? Anyone got an idea?

annodomini Fri 24-May-13 08:59:43

I opened the curtains and went back to bed - all I could see was branches thrashing and lashing. The heating had gone on and it's almost June! Nuff said!

Grandmanorm Fri 24-May-13 08:56:51

Blue skies and high winds, in Perth and Kinross. Sadly the high winds are blowing the blossom off my Victoria plum tree sad.

Stansgran Fri 24-May-13 08:49:36

Horrible here in Durham. Wet, blowing a gale ,just put the heating on and got back into bed until the house warms up.
Could we arrange a time for The Great Gransnet Jump?

Thistledoo Fri 24-May-13 08:48:31

Good morning all. The SUN is breaking through the cloud here in Inverness-shire, maybe it will chase the snow and freezing winds away.
Off to Portugal tomorrow for two weeks of glorious sun. Cant wait.
Busy day today, looking after DGD. Still have to apply fake tan to my milk bottle legs.grin

Sook Fri 24-May-13 08:42:07

mollie great idea grin

Grey skies and cold winds in the Cheese County again.

Minder Fri 24-May-13 08:37:16

Good Morning from me too. Wet and windy here but it's my day off and I am going to do 'nowt'. Hopefully.
