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

[Lorraine]

Good Morning all, nice and bright out not to cold, slightly breezy, clouds i little grey, but not raining here in Milnrow Lancashire

 

[Lee]

We're at Chateaureax it's grey with a promise of getting better and 10c.
Not we've been used to but hey ho back to normal.

 

[Pauljenny]

10 degrees down here, too, Lee.
You're not missing much. Breeze blowing the washing ok. Better be dry before the next lot of showers arrive at lunchtime... Allegedly.

 

[Pauljenny]

It did.. They didn't.
Brandy went down well, at coffee time, though..
Mustn't grumble.

Dry at the moment but only 7 degrees. Some drizzle due. ️️️

We had still air this morning on the aire near Gravelines:



So we pottered along the E40 to Brugge and ensconced ourselves on the aire there. Then a wander into the beautiful old town centre to celebrate Lin's [spelling?] birthday by over-dosing on chocolate in various forms:



Followed by more meandering around the cobbled streets:



Then booked a restaurant for this evening's communal meal.
Lots of Belgian favourites on the menu so something I'm really looking forward to.
It was warm in the intermittent sunshine so the older members had an afternoon nap, leaving me to catch up on a book.

This evening we had a gentle stroll back into Brugge in milder air than last night.
The restaurant meal was great, the company even better:



Then a meander back to the aire through streets made even more attractive by the dearth of tourists and spectacle of light on water:

Starting raining in the night and still going....and it’s cold?
Might just turn south again!

 

[Pauljenny]

The weather site says its raining and will continue until 6pm
I'm sitting outside with my oilskin and sou'wester on looking silly and sweating as the sun peeps through the light cloud. I might put my umbrella down, if it continues.
Lovely memories, thanks to Colin's travelogue. Great pictures.. Thanks.
We always used to stop under the bridge in Brugges , after taking the ferry from Hull, when we were still based in Leeds, before 2004.

 

[2cv]

Cloudy but dry for now, but only 7 degrees. Showers soon.

 

[Pauljenny]

The rain tip-toed in at 11, first as a mist, then a drizzle,.
After 4 hours of solid rain, the Sun is breaking through.. Typical April weather... For Doncaster .
10 mm, forecast for overnight..
It's not been the same since a Government spokesman said that The Algarve was officially classified as severe drought.

 

[Jeanette]

It started of as damp this morning then the sun keeps getting out then it disappears well at least it’s dry now!

Jist arrived in Cumbria for a week of R&R, bright sunshine and warm. It was overcast and damp at home on Teesside.

I thought I'd have an early morning cycle from Brugge aire to Sluis in Holland so woke at 0530.
It was dark.
So I went back to bed with the intention of trying again at 0700.
When we had some light rain.
So I gave up.

We then drove to Ghent, stopped by the rowing 'lake' and caught the free bus into Ghent where the sun came out and warmed the lovely old buildings:






................and generated a thirst.
So Ian insisted on stopping for liquid lest he dehydrate:

Hmmm...NICE PICS.............drizzle now.......suns been popping in and out.......cold breeze..........no inspiration

 

[Rec]

It's been throwing it down most of today, frequently yesterday and set for tomorrow also! Decided to take a trip to sesimbra as forecast looks a bit better there!

 

[Jeanette]

Tonight it looks as if fog is coming in and it’s also drizzling pleased I’m going to bed!

 

[Obanboy666]

Sunny warm morning in Cumbria, pleased I chose Cumbria and not the east coast for my trip out.
