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

woa.....where is everyone this morn............usually a few weather report on here by now............you all suffering from yesterday sunstroke.

well,,,,,,,few spots of rain every now and again.....overcast...... drop in temperature......may get showers of rain later in the day...........thats probably put paid to a good few hours of getting my garden sorted.......elec....mower, strimmer etc.....huh
 
This morning it was grey though dry in Herts and a few degrees down on the past couple of days.
So I pegged some washing out in the garden to encourage some much needed precipitation.
Which duly arrived just as I put the final peg in position.
How's that for planning?

It was dry on the drive up from Uttoxeter, but now we’ve arrived in Blackpool it’s started to rain. ☔️☔️☔️

What a combination.. Blackpool and you two.... 100% guaranteed to rain.
I'll ask the Mayor if he'll finance a trip here for you, in September.. Your skills would be in great demand.
 
A chilly 16 degrees at 6.30... I'm told.
Gentle NW breezes keeping temperatures to mid 20s.
That'll do nicely.
We're thinking about the aire at Hermanville Sur Mer, beside the cemetery, where over a thousand young men, killed on nearby Sword Beach on D day, are buried.

I see what you did with the order of the symbols there, Chris.
Like you, I'm thinking of those who gave so much.
I'll be crossing the water tomorrow and will, as always as I pass through northern France, be visiting a cemetery to pay my respects and moisten my cheeks.

Reading the plaques in Arromanches chokes me - they say men, but they were only boys, the same age as my grandson

Absolutely, Chris.
Annie and I paid our respects at two memorials on our way back through northern France after the Netherlands meet. I find the visits heartbreaking but essential.
My Dad survived D-day but in the process saw so much that a young man shouldn't see. Like so many others he suffered in silence for pretty much the rest of his life and only ever spoke to me about his awful experiences on a couple of occasions.
We are so lucky that the previous generation were so unbelievably generous in order that we have a future worth having.
It's because of the apparent inability of individual nations to coexist in peace that I totally support the coming together of countries in economic and political units.
Our current problems with the European 'project' does not bode well in my view.
There's far too much weight given to and time wasted on the low level issues.
Would anyone seriously consider England splitting up into it's original Kingdoms? Or the USA into it's states?

Oops! This is the weather thread.
Sorry about that.

It's warm and bright in Herts.
