Phil will be joining you Tuesday I believe.

And I'm very much looking forward to being with like-minded people, Tes.
Which kind of suggests that my mind may not be of the sound type.

glorious picture weather about same here

Thanks, Barrie. Weston really isn't that far away from Stonehenge so I guessed that you'd have similar weather.

Looks like today is the end of the minus conditions for a little while at least.

That about sums it up, Tes.. In Westward Ho! right now it's warming rapidly and pouring with rain. Quite a change from this morning.

We didn't get that promised teaspoonful of rain.
12 degrees in the shade on the south side.. 22 in the sun.
Round the north, 6 degrees.

Perhaps Old Joao was right after all, Paul?

Just started snowing again and just about 1 deg

What! In Plymouth? Surely not, Graham.
It's warmer and raining in north Devon.

Lovely view to start the day with.

It really was, yorkslass. That was the view from bed. A good-to-be-alive moment, to be sure.

Clouded over and now tis raining - sorry Colin.

I'm sorry, Chris, but there's no way to say this in a kind, non accusative or gentle way.
It's all your fault.

I hope you make it to Appledore and if possible I'll try to drop by to introduce myself for a few minutes.

I'm driving down to Devon on Friday so will be passing along the A361. I always look forward to going over the Exe just north of Tiverton, Chris. I love the view of the weir and river there.
No doubt it'll be fuller than usual on Friday!

Colin :smile::smile::smile:

This is the view referred to above. I really look forward to it every trip to Devon.

For the reason we all suspect, Chris?
In the past?

Yes Colin, salmon still run the Exe, but not so many now. I took my first many years ago at Dead Mans Pool, just downriver from Tiverton.

Thanks for the info, Chris.
I've watched you fly-fishers place a fly precisely and have been captivated. Amazing skill.
Salmon have returned to the Thames. And when visiting my twin son in Aberdeen I was taken out to see the salmon leaping. That really is something.

Earlier this year I broke my journey in Tiverton. A really interesting and attractive place. I especially like the canal basin above the town.

[Jeanette]

It's better than snow but I must admit I like the snow,and whirlwind and tornado are asking when can we go and make snow angels Hmm when we have enough snow would be helpful!!! Lol ?

 

[Campervanannie]

It's bitter here tonight a complete frost white out.

 

[Jeanette]

I gather all the snow has gone then Annie?

Milder and the rain has stopped - don't know how long for!

Thanks, Jeanette. The Exe is a lovely river and the weather was just about perfect for a photo yesterday. All down to Nature rather than me.

It's very different in Devon, Annie. About 8°C overnight and drizzle.
