Early sumner

Yes I always get annoyed when parts of the U.K. are getting better weather than me. The weather man always dwells on the positive, I suppose he so rarely gets to do so

It was so cold yesterday in Edinburgh and not much better today so far. It is so annoying when national news and weather and newspapers keep going on about basking in sunshine etc etc ignoring for the most part the north of the UK.

A bit bad when my first thoughts at the sight of the sun is "oh, I can get some washing out" and "I can chop my sideboard up now and burn it in the incinerator", not "sunbathe, in my bikini!!!" That's next week! Good job we are not overlooked!

We went for a walk in Ashridge this morning. We got there just after 8 o'clock. Only a few other walkers and joggers. Very quiet and peaceful , with the wonderful smell of the bluebells and the occasional may tree. Absolutely beautiful.
We are going walking again tomorrow morning as the weather is so lovely.

You have to make the most of every day as this may be it

It's been lovely here in the SE for a few days and he garden is looking lovely - daffodils, pansies, tulips still blooming. It's as if Summer has come without a Spring! The first BBQof the season planned for tomorrow ! Strike while the iron is hot I say! Last year we hardly had any BBqs .

It has just started raining heavily here. We have done years of walking in the Peak District and know it so well. I so envy you Greyduster

I've just put on another thread that we had a lovely warm sunny day here today. It prompted us to go out and buy new garden furniture This evening we have had a fierce hailstorm, black skies and thunder and lightning!

We had a superb day today, walking a gritstone edge in the Peak District (with a pub lunch thrown in). It was hot but the north wind took the edge off it. Pity the heat haze spoiled the views but we heard A CUCKOO..... ! Summer is a-coomin' in! This evening it has clouded over and is quite cool.

Pleasantly warm in Co. Durham this afternoon (at least 16 degrees ) but it's turned cooler now. Looking forward to promised hot day tomorrow.

Lovely day here in the West Midlands, too. Very hot - was 22 degs or more - but we've just had a thunder storm. Sunday is forecast to be hot again. Seems like we've sort of missed out on Spring and gone straight into Summer.

But the garden thinks it's the right month PRINTMISS and the wasps do too, just seen 3 of the blighters in the garden.???

Oh to be in England, roses except of course it is the wrong month for the poem.

Just now we have a storm, thunder rumbling away loudly and some rain.?⚡️☔️

Really hot here today, just had a family get together and lunch in the garden, and had to go indoors after a while to cool off!

Its just so nice to open up the doors and eat breakfast listening to and watching the birds on the feeder. Its very warm here but we just had a heavy shower but its still warm and I'm about to take my tea and book to sit outside..
I adore the Summer too...

It is absolutely beautiful this morning and really warm. Oh how lovely it is. I adore the summer.

We had snow in Kent last week too. I wore sandals and a summer skirt for the first time this year today

Yes we were in York and Harrogate last week and it snowed!

So 10c is a huge rise☺

Not in this part of Northumberland Hilda !
I was actually playing tennis in my skirt this morning.
I love early summer. Can't wait for the lilac, azaleas, hardy geraniums and alchemilla mollis to come out. We had goldfinches in the garden this morning.

You're lucky whitewave. Here in Northumberland it is only 10°c. Not quite balmy enough for sitting out, but a vast improvement, as this time last week we had snow showers.
