Amazing weather for U.K. late October!

I do particularly remember other such days, notably one 31st October at least 20 years ago, when we were visiting Polesden Lacy (NT) with adult dds. There was glorious sunshine and blue skies all day, and it was 71 deg! (old money).

The very next day, 1st November, a complete change, to wet and windy - proper autumnal weather.

We live up in mountains and our roses are about to flower, yet again.

Our flowers are still quite pretty. Autumn at the odd tree with 2 colours flowers.

Colour Changing Rose (Hibiscus mutabilis)?

Lovely here in the West Country too.

We did some gardening this afternoon, I tried to tackle a neglected shrub border and found these.

I thought at first it was cuckoo pint but did a search and found out it was stinking iris, also poisonous.
I never planted them so goodness knows where they appeared from.

Rain.. All day in the South.. But not cold. It's the rainy season now until January. Hate it!

I’m on holiday in south Devon, we were in Sidmouth today, a beautiful still and sunny day, and you could still feel the warmth in the sun - we sat outside to eat lunch, it was gorgeous.

Yesterday was horrible here, damp, foggy then rain set in for the evening; but today has been glorious - mild and sunny, a beautiful autumn day.

Beautiful day here in SWWales. The sun was up early and we took a walk to the sea. The sea was glittering. Superb. We saw two cormorants, and egret and the jackdaws were going mad in the trees. I believe it is going to be lovely tomorrow also

Same here in Eastern France. Been working in the garden all day.

Sunny and warm here. I’m wearing a T-shirt and cotton skirt.
I love how the sun lights up the golden leaves.

we had one beautiful day but then rain, and today it's grey and miserable..

Sadly far from finished yet Tizliz. The ‘main’ fall still to come and my garden bin (only emptied on Thursday) is already full.
In past years, after the last bin collection, the leaves are kept in bin bags over Winter and the first few collection of next year will just be a bit of mown grass and leaves. I wouldn’t care, but the main culprit at the top of the garden isn’t mine!

Know the feeling. The 8’ wall round most of the garden traps all the leaves from the farm next door.

21c here yesterday and 18c today. Really lovely.
Haven’t worn a coat since about April.

It’s been grey, miserable and dismal all day here.

Actually, amend that to no extremes of temperature.

There have been a few mild-ish days in Argyll. Tomorrow is forecast to be chillier. The usual ultra-changeable weather then, for us. Sadly too wet to do any gardening today.

I took a couple of weeks annual leave in late September/early October and was quite lucky with a spate of nice weather. That is, not wet!

Can't complain. The weather is what one would expect in a temperate rainforest zone. We get very few extremes of temperature, masses of rain, and a good number of breezy days.

Yes, it’s yet another warm, sunny day here in Carlisle. Clear overnight so a bit nippy first thing but it soon warms up.
I have just come in from the garden and had to strip off a layer and I’m another chilly soul.
Love the feeling of very warm sun on my skin. This late spell really sets you up for the darker chillier weeks to come.

It used to be called St. Martin's summer - the October burst of sunshine and warmth. It shortens the Winter until, hopefully, a nice sunny March.

I allways thought it was called "St. Luke's Summer"!

Sun shining on the facade of Exeter Cathedral this lunchtime. There's people lying on the grass. 🌞
The wood stacked up is for the Christmas Market chalets coming soon.

Coffee outside, listening to birdsong!

You have been busy sweeping up leaves, just done 6 bagful today and doesn’t look like I have done anything!

Mild and misty, much warmer than usual at this time of year.

Ooh I have never heard of that phrase, we always called it an “Indian Summer”

Bright and sunny in the north east of Scotland and only cold in the wind!
