I can remember having my son's birthday parties in April, in the garden with awnings for protection against the sun.. That was a few years ago and it seems to have become progressively colder since then.. I'm also in Brighton and temperatures are predicted to be even colder next week..

I know it is not warm, BUT....have now taken of my winter 4.5 tog duvet and replaced it with my normal summer coverlet. Just keeping a thin thrown handy in case I need it any night

I do find being too warm at night more of a problem for me than being cold, and my flat is quite warm. Have not had any heating on for about three weeks now.

Intend to use this weekend to put away winter jumpers and bring out spring tops, etc.

A couple of hours ago the temp. on the thermometer outside our kitchen window read 7.8 deg. And dh said just now that it’s still only 8. And we’re in outer SW London.

Also, our flowering cherry usually takes about a week from the time the buds begin to open, to full flowering.
This year it’s taken 3 weeks.
