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

[Pauljenny]

I had to wear my Charity shop Leather jacket and winter hat.
it's 16 degrees, out of the gusty wind, but evil if you meet a squall head on.
The rain is very welcome, replenishing the reservoirs and aquifers.
Shopping, in the big town, was a doddle, as the locals don't venture out.
As a precaution, I've invested in a 20p lemon and £ 9 bottle of Lidl Malt whisky.
Don't worry,
It was worse in Salford, last August.
We survived.

Just 5 degrees but dry at the moment. Expecting rain from time to time today. ️

 

[The laird]

Frosty n cold in West Lothian

 

[Biggarmac]

No rain in the forcast for the next week. Rain yesterday - the first wet day since I arrived here on the Costa Blanca, Spain.

 

[Pauljenny]

Winds reducing.
Rain persistent, but gentle.
The whole valley transformed into lush greenery.
We pity those disappointed visitors, Who've paid peak prices to be here for Xmas.
It won't be fun on the golf courses.
House warm and fully provisioned .
No reason to go out.
So we won't.

It's not raining!
There's patches of blue!
There no breeze!
It's well above zero!

So the rolling Hertfordshire countryside will be viewed from astride a Brompton today.

A bonny start, but now it's clouding over

I'm home.
There's very little blue left.
It's drizzling.
No wonder the foray up into Bedfordshire indicated that lots of folk are off to warmer climes:

We've lots of blue sky above Hertfordshire on this, the shortest day of the year. It's mild - about 7°C - with the gentlest of breezes.
So I persuaded the Brompton to carry me over to the Xmas Market in Harpenden. Lots of people, great atmosphere and great coffee.
In St Albans and the surrounding villages some 54 post boxes have been adorned with crocheted decorations. This is the one Wheathampstead:



It feels good to know that the days get progressively longer for the coming 6 months.

Back from the market.
Good job we remembered to take our sunglasses
It's always a great joy to share a bottle of red with Management. The Piri Piri was excellent.
She's sleeping off her glass, I'm on the terrace, working on my all-over Suntan.
Where did I put the Smugfilter ?
