How lovely is this. Still light and bright after an earlier mist. Things are looking up.

Yes Beechnut - my friends and I met for lunch at Mowgli and then just sat outside on the bench and watched the world go by. We were just saying what a lovely afternoon it was. Not cold, not hot . Back home now and I think it’s changing

Well its been overcsst with a very damp feel without actually raining.

Granmarderby10 Wed 15-Jan-25 16:08:06

Yep😊 it’s been lovely here.

Dottydots Wed 15-Jan-25 16:20:48

Yes, it's been a lovely day here as well. I even found myself smiling quite a lot.

HowVeryDareYou2 Wed 15-Jan-25 16:32:02

It's been lovely here (Nottingham). Sunny and dry all day, didn't put the heating on until 4pm

Bright here too in Shropshire. Just wish it would dry up a bit in the garden.
Was out tidying the front border earlier and everywhere is so soggy and damp.
Lots of bulbs showing which is great.
Now at 4.30pm still a light sky with the sun just going down - really lifts the spirits.

Mild here too and the snow is melting away very nicely.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 15-Jan-25 16:37:33

We have been over to York today. Halfway home to East Yorkshire we hit very thick fog which was a shock. Still foggy now we are home.

Chocolatelovinggran Wed 15-Jan-25 16:58:05

Indeed Beechnut. The bitter cold weather has abated and the skies are blue.
I have just pulled the curtains ( 4.30) .

It would have been nice here if it hadn’t been so windy. It has gone from -13 to +13 in two days. I am in North Scotland.

aggie Wed 15-Jan-25 17:29:31

I hung the washing out after I got back from the Seniors Club at 12 ish , got it in dry by 4 pm
It’s been lovely out , loads of bulbs are poking out , hoping for a lovely spring now

My Dad always said 1st of February - light at 5 o’clock!

Something I always look forward to

Marydoll Wed 15-Jan-25 17:59:51

Our solar lights are working for the first time in months!

It was damp, grey and misty here (Dorset) until this afternoon, then the sun showed itself for a while. Around 4 pm it was getting murky again and when I closed the curtains around 4.30 it was very foggy. Couldn't see across the fields opposite us.
Been lovely the previous two days though.

Babs03 Wed 15-Jan-25 18:45:35

Damp and wet in London with a light drizzle at times. Not great.

Georgesgran Wed 15-Jan-25 18:47:37

We have been out admiring the moon. It’s enormous and orange!

Georgesgran Wed 15-Jan-25 18:49:05

Doesn’t do it justice ….

woodenspoon Wed 15-Jan-25 18:49:14

It’s been a dull dreary day here in our area near the south coast. We had thick mist to start and damp with grey skies all day. Hoping for better tomorrow.

Blue skies and sunshine here in Devon. Very light winds and settled seas, which bodes well for my upcoming special cruise to France.

escaped Wed 15-Jan-25 18:59:01

And sunset was around 4.45 pm.

Grey cold and miserable here in Surrey. It seems days since I saw a hint of blue sky. It’s hard to remember that the sun is shining up there somewhere. I’ve noticed the evenings drawing out though, in spite of the gloom. Very welcome!

Susieq62 Sun 19-Jan-25 12:43:23

Glorious in Malaga ! Sorry!!

And still is 🥺 Lunchtime and it feels like 5 pm. Colder than it was last week too. Never mind, Spring is on the way. Hopefully.

I have not had a light off all day, and it is 2C with fog outside. I feel like retiring to bed until at least April. This is London and not the Scottish borders.
