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

[Pauljenny]

Been an ok day in Cheshire, a couple of showers and some sunshine mixed in. However everything is still absolutely sodden, I did some more hedge cutting and turned the annual brash heap in the field, it’ll be a while before I can think of burning it ........

Thanks Dave, You've done a good job.

From a thousand feet, once we'd got under the cloud , Cheshire looked pristine.. so green and scrubbed clean.
It's a little parky, but so long as it doesn't get worse,
We'll not complain, ( too loudly ).
We'll stay in bed till 9 am, to miss the early rain and allow the streets to warm up.

No prizes this morning for guessing the weather in Cheshire ️️️️️ Clearly Paul failed to bring any with him .....

Hertfordshire is calm.
And damp.
And grey.
I feel a holiday coming on.

Not as bad as we expected, 15 degrees , until you suddenly came into contact with the chill Northerly wind.
We gave the main shopping drag, running north/ south, a miss.,always trying to keep buildings to our north.
Eventually ended up at Wetherspoons. Coffee and rum cures frostbite !

Maybe getting a bit repetitive, but 32 degrees today and unbroken sunshine.

Welcome to the club Paul
We returned a few days ago and still trying to adjust to the cold
Bl*8dy cold aint it

You know I'm not one to complain, Graham.
9 more sleeps, and we'll be back..
Until then , there's always Wetherspoons... !

Not too bad news, Trixie...
At least you're still young enough to even consider kicking the leaves around.

good roll round and chucking leaves into the air.......from a huge pile of them....is just GRAND lol

 

[Pauljenny]

I'm a worried Man.
I've seen a gritter heading south, through the town.
The first one I've seen in over 20 years..

 

[Val54]

Just driven back from playing in the pub and the ice warning light was on Paul

 

[Jeanette]

It was raining this morning well chucking it down really then afternoon brought the sun out and the biting wind forecast is for frost tonight

 

[Campervanannie]

There is a hard frost this morning in my corner of Yorkshire my blue car is looking crisp and white

Just in from a barbecue to say farewell to friends from Vancouver and Seattle who leave for home tomorrow. Still 19 degrees at 9 at night, should be 34 tomorrow. Very pleasant with very blue skies today and no wind.
No smug filter yet made could cope

Hertfordshire has started the day with a particularly beautiful autumnal feel with frost and a slight mist:



I'm confident that some excercise around the rolling Herts countryside will happen this morning!

It‘s a dry start but ominously grey in Cheshire, so I don’t think it’s going to stay dry for long .........

 

[kenspain]

Nice clear blue sky,s and sunny but not shorts and T shirt day

 

[trixie88]

nice crisp cold........quite bright n dry.........looks like its going to be a very nice fresh day..........

all enjoy the day...what ever you are doing

Well, what a morning to be out and about.
The Hertfordshire trees are showing off:



..... and the leaves really do look amazing against the blue sky:



Then, on Nomansland Common, the Fly Agaric fruiting bodies were also showing off as they released millions of spores:



These are the 'Magic Mushrooms' that, amongst others, the invaders from Scandinavia used prior to combat.



They contain a psychoactive substance, as some of you experimenting in the 1960's and 1970's will remember. They can be eaten but need parboiling a couple of times before 'enjoying'.
I don't these days.

Too true, Dave.
6 degrees, drizzle.
Shopping.
After being told to wait outside Debenhams, Monsoon, Rackham's, WH Smug and finally, M&S, because, she says I'm barred from all of them, We ended up in Wetherspoons .( I'm still ok there ). Saved money on the rummy coffees again..
When I suggested further savings, I was outvoted .
