What's it like on t'other side of t'ditch Colin?

Hi All. The ferry was delayed due to bad weather earlier in the day but actually everything went unexpectedly smoothly to Calais. Yesterday (Friday) there was intermittent heavy rain but always grey so I just pottered along the lanes, always southwards. Today it's still grey but calm and dry and about 10°C. The locals around here in Champagne are burning wood and the valleys are full of wood smoke. Looks lovely though I'm not sure it's good for everyone.

Colin ???
 
8 degrees at 8am. Came inside and back to bed.
9 degrees at 9.

If the trend continues.... We'll be able to sit outside by 20.00 ?
That blooming sun is shining again. Next rain forecast for Tuesday.

Have fun Colin I should really get my act together and get across to France though I do prefer Germany.

I think that Admin should begin posting weather reports to help us track him down. :paw_emoji_icon_png:

You'll have to get a roof on your garage Terry ;)
 
Yesterday the sun was absolutely brilliant.
Although where I was, below the thick, dark grey cloud layer it was chucking it down. I crossed many rivers, all looking like:

Chablis certainly didn't look like a town devoted to Bacchus.
I decided to press on and last night stopped overlooking the upper Loire at Digoin.
I awoke this morning to dryness! I drove south this morning through fairly thick fog for a couple of hours but now, just south of St. Étienne, the fog has cleared and the sun can be seen through thin high cloud. It's about 12°C and the brighter sky is uplifting.

It's weird how crossing a river can bring big changes in the weather, within a short distance.
We've often found that crossing La Loire, at Saumur is like going from one cool, gloomy room to a sunny conservatory.
 
We went to the village hall, last night for their 3 King festival. Folk groups circulated round the villages, playing carols and they all play their version of a special one for the 3 kings They started on Friday and ended up in our village. We heard 8 different versions of it last night..

It was 5 degrees, as we collected our neighbour, 97, and her toy boy, 86, on the way for an alleged 7.30 start.
The first band arrived at 8.45, out of the minibus, into the bar, and the castanets were clattering 15 minutes later. They did 30 minutes and left for their next gig... No doubt having a noggin before getting into the bus... And another when they got out again..

Each subsequent band was more and more rosy cheeked and nosed, in turn.
We left at 01.40 . There's been no heating and the hall doors were opening and closing,all night.

When we got to the neighbour's, the game old bird was insisting that we come in for Port and the traditional 3 kings cake..
Fell into bed at 02.15.
8 degrees at noon,sunny.
