Glorious sunny day here. Temperature venturing up to 0°. Overnight frost on the outside of the velux windows.
Reminds me of childhood when the frost was inside the windows

Wall to wall sunshine again in Blackpool and should remain good as we head North.

Keep your eyes open bill as we're heading south and may pass each other

Forget the weather! How's the Great Diesel Hunt in Blackpool? That's the important stuff ...

No problem, available everywhere, but a record £107 to fill our little van!

Just looked back on my spreadsheet. First tank of diesel on delivery on 21 April 21 cost £88.34 for 72.00 litres. Going by today's price, that would have increased to £108.65. The trip to Spain is about 1850 miles each way so around £425 each way just for fuel, unless diesel in Spain is a lot cheaper ... 'This is going to hurt', springs to mind ...

Our Bank has just declared bumper profits; wonder if they'd like to sponsor us?

3 degrees and sunshine peaking from behind the cloud for a couple of hours; then general cloud for the afternoon and the taps get turned on again around 5pm

3 degrees after a frosty night but wall to wall sunshine in Glasgow this morning. Yesterday really was perfect weather for the drive North. Didn’t spot you off on your adventures yesterday Gordon, but a perfect day to start.

You made a wise move! Wind is whipping across from the Forth, blowing light rain/moisture in the air, 'that rain that gets you proper wet ...' as Peter Kay says; quite a wind chill factor too, feeling pure dead Baltic [I made the mistake of washing the car whilst having the M/Home new n/s front tyre balance weight replaced, after the 3 weeks old version fell off last night ...]

It's presently darker than the norm in mid December, and thoroughly miserable! Lounge lights on before 3pm!

It's been a rather nice dry day, and after a pleasant walk I started weeding the garden. The warmth is bringing Spring nearer.

Some drizzle this morning and 7 degrees. Should brighten up soon. 🌧🌥

 

[marchie]

The forecast says 5 degrees and cloud. The weather says heavy rain. Ideal for packing and washing the Van; the latter looks like it may be a soap free contactless rinsing only

Nice calm sunny day on the seven seas

 

[HurricaneSmith]

After yesterday's rain it's turned into a dry, bright day, here in East Sussex, with a light breeze and 10° high.

Did you have problems supplying the API details before the Trip, Gordon? I complained to DFDS when I made the Booking that the website wasn't allowing the uploading of API Data, and had an email reply indicating that I would receive a further email 'a few days before sailing'. 3 days before Sailing date and nothing received. I've emailed the information that I believe that they will require and asked DFDS to confirm that we will be able to Board. They are worse than useless since the COVID service reduction!
