It's May on Sunday.......!

Yep! It's making the year go past without being able to appreciate it. IYSWIM

Tried to put some plants in today and gave up. Such hard work when the ground is soggy.

Oh I do, Jings, I do!! Just had massive thunderstorm and mega hailstones up here as well. Perhaps my granny's totally non pc fur coat currently languishing in the loft
might come in useful at this rate.

It's cold!! We have snow all around on the hills, it's raining here though. Thank goodness for the log burner. Yes it's May on Sunday, and only seven days until DH has his 65th birthday.

A friend who lives in Wensleydale where we used to live sent me a phot of the snow up there- complete white out. Another friend says she can remember it like that at the end of May- we certainly still had snow in May up there but higher up in Swaledale. Here in the balmy East Midlands is 4 degrees and peeing down again.

I have bought some fake tan as I go on holiday in 2 weeks and I am mauve!

I love Wensleydale. Might even like it in the snow in a snug cottage with a Woodburner. Sometimes I think we get quite boring weather down here.

We went to put some plants in our garden yesterday and it started to rain, so I gave up and came in. DH stayed out and it stopped raining - and started snowing, but he muddled on and came in looking like the man in the picture!! I love May. Warmer days bring the anticipation of some good river fishing. It doesn't always work out like that though. What do they say? In like a lion, out like a lamb?

Grey duster that is March!

My daughter was born in mid-May 1976, in Germany. At my last ante-natal class, which I think was probably the last week in April or first week in May, it snowed. There was beautiful pink blossom on the trees with a couple of inches of snow sitting on the top. We then went on to have an amazing heatwave that summer.

Oops!

Had to scrape the hail and snow off the windscreen this morning at 7-00, not remotely impressed!

I was thinking of celebrating May Day by lighting a roaring fire and cuddling up in front of it with a cosy throw, a cup of tea and a good book!!!

I remember it snowing one time in June, many years ago, I was about 9. My mother went racing out to bring the washing off the line, shouting, "it`s bl---y June for heaven`s sake!"
GrannyA, I remember that heatwave of 1976, we worked and suffered through it all summer, because our holiday was booked for September. We went to Bigbury-on-Sea in Devon, had 3 beautiful days.........then it rained, and boy, did it RAIN!!

Kaytek, ???

Teetime-think your mauve colour is perhaps a couple of degrees warmer than our skimmed milk blue shade!

Why did it only snow on my lawn on Thursday morning, what have I ever done to the weather?
