Weather Report..................

Nice little fire at the Stones tonight just to keep the chill off

Funny old day's weather. Managed 3 meals outdoors.
As we finished breakfast, it clouded over and looked ominous.
Then brightened up.
Walking back from the village, in shorts, T shirt and sandals , I was happily surprised by a short, sharp shower
Lunched on the terrace.. to be rained off, as we started eating.
By the time we'd ferried everything indoors, it had stopped.
We've been outside since our 5.30 sundowner, needing ice cubes..
Evening meal made interesting by a swarm of hornets, attracted by the lights.
Zapped 14, a personal best...
About to murder numbers 15 and 16...
Who needs TV ?

It's damp, miserable yet mild here in Herts.
So I've packed the Factor 15 and Red Beauties and am off to the Thames estuary where the Grandchildren will immerse me in sunshine.

Lots of overnight rain but dry by this morning. Positively tropical temperatures and even a glimpse of sunshine, back to Cheshire tomorrow but not before one last session

It's the same foul weather all over the country today, Trixie.
There's a watery sun trying to show its face, but there are more black clouds rolling in fast behind.

Definitely a day/weekend for staying indoors and keeping snug and dry

Beautiful morning after a hot, sticky night, following our decision to set our bed up for Autumn.
Management was prowling around , opening windows, all night. .
5 minutes of gentle rain was not the most welcome awakening, at 5 am.
Not enough to wash the roof off, but the large Toad that was looking up at me, when I opened up, seemed pretty happy..
Maybe pretty is the wrong word.

It's very wet, very mild and very windy in Herts.
So a day for indoor jobs - like making my first sourdough loaf now that my yeast has activated.
How exciting.

I just love sourdough bread, Marie. I've been making more conventional bread for years.
My sample of sourdough starter originally came from Oregon - it's the Carl Griffith's 1847 culture. (Those last 4 words are a hyperlink but the colour isn't the usual bright blue for some reason - but you can click on them for the link!)

Well it started wet so I watched the rugby then after the second try I thought fishing would be better and the weather had cleared. However the fish were obviously oblivious to my presence for the first hour or so, but came round in the end Just enjoying a very late full English in the fishing cafe before heading back to Cheshire where apparently it is still raining

Only 10 degrees as we sat down to breakfast at 8 this morning, but 20 an hour later. Clocks go back here tonight so breakfast should be nice and warm tomorrow.
A few passing clouds but mainly sunny and 31 degrees this afternoon.
The Dakota is out and about again.

Ok, Dave.. you have done a wonderful job , using up all the bad weather.. Surely there will be none left for the next couple of weeks ?
We don't possess Clothing to cope with foul weather and are only bringing cabin baggage.
We might have to trawl around the posh charity shops in Altrincham, buy some rainwear and return it before flying back.
Mean while....
We have some rain about, but nothing to get excited about.
It's 23 outdoors and very humid.
