The weather

I'm just happy that the drought is ending and I don't have to water the garden for now. The cracks in the ground are closing - and everything is coming up fresh and green!

We mustn’t let the weather upset us Katyj that’s why the UK is so green! We can always sing in the rain! ☂️

First post I saw this morning was saying Australian borders possibly not open until mid 2022. (DS not seen since 2018)
Second post I saw was moaning about the weather here.........really ??

Lucca It did remind me that the first time my Australian SIL came here was in May 2007 and it rained and rained and rained ???
I don't think he was in a hurry to come back.

Same here Lucca. Shall we go together when they reopen?

Ellianne. That’s looks beautiful. We’re still dithering and weather watching. Fingers crossed for you.

The minute we arrived in green list Cornwall today, this .........
I can't believe it will last.

Nowt wrong with Yorkshire weather this morning.

Nowt wrong with the weather over the hill in Lancashire either.... ?

Sick to death of it, the gardening is way behind because on days it isn't too cold to go out it is too wet or too windy.

Not bothered by it, as a wise GC said earlier, we live in Britain, the heat we had last year was unusual.

I wanted a little rain for my veg patch but it’s been ridiculous. I put my thick jumpers away two weeks ago don’t know why I bothered.

I'm afraid we needed the rain as I garden on heavy clay which had set like concrete! However, it can go away now and take the wind with it!

It’s certainly warmed up quite a lot here (SW London) - for what seemed ages we’d had a positively Arctic wind - and TBH we’ve been very glad of the rain - everything was terribly dry.

lucca no need for apologies. I have two friends in the same position.

April was so beautiful here in Glasgow. We had lots of meals outside which is almost unheard of in this neck of the woods and we had to water the garden a few times.
Seems that April and May have reversed this year.
Yesterday we were on Loch Lomond and although the wind made it feel cool the thermometer was reading 18C.

That's understandable Lucca ?. Let's hope, as things improve, Australia might have a change of heart and bring the date forward. ?

Lin52 your GD is exactly right.

A week or so ago , people were complaining and saying how we needed rain , now they are moaning because we have too much.
My DH feels that he has has to tell me each day what the weather forecast is. I’m not interested, the weather will be what it will be. We can’t change it.

Sorry. I apologise for putting a downer on this thread.
Completely unreasonable of me.
I’ve had my weep now and I’ll get up and go play tennis in the glorious sunshine.

I don't think you need to apologise. It must be so hard on you to have read about possible Australian restrictions when you must want to see your son so much.

When I was stood in the playground yesterday waiting to collect my GD's, everyone was moaning about the weather. We have had some sunny days but they are always accompanied by a chilly wind. It will be nice to have some warmth.

I imagine the parents of the 9 year old boy, killed by lightening yesterday, aren't too happy about the weather !

Anybody else fed up of this weather ?
We had a really bad storm last night here in Yorkshire. I can’t remember ever having such a wet May. Suppose it’s the price to pay for having such dry April.
I’ve had to postpone my birthday lunch on Friday until next week, so at least we can eat inside ?
Any amateur forecasters out there know when it’s going to get dryer and warmer ? I want to go away but don’t want to take my coat and wellies !

As my wise granddaughter tells me “ we do live in Great Britain nanny, what do you expect”!

Thank you.

I am sorry Lucca that must be so hard
