Just watching the news ( with my cup of Bovril ) and looking at people in the South of England 'on the beach' with Ice Creams !!! It's only a few hundred miles away but could just as well be thousands. I am frozen...

Make the most of it pompa I doubt if it will last. I am too hot for once- usually sitting here with the heating on and well wrapped up.

Don't know what the temp is but it's a beautiful sunny day in NE Scotland. Positively balmy for us.

Just got back from Cambridge, where it was 25C, here it is currently 22c having cooled down a bit. I was so hot walking around Cambridge, at 10.30 am I was having a black coffee and lemon sorbet in Patisserie Valerie while waiting for my DS.

Hot, sunny day on the Kent coast

I'm sitting here in a fleece jumper and with the heating on! Cheshire is NOT hot, not even warm!

Been glorious in west Devon, temperatures in the early 20's. It's still around 18 deg now! But we are assured this will change in a few days sad

My knees are 'glowing' from sitting outside....... Sorry chilly ones sad, don't mean to be smug

I've ironed all my summer clothes and put away the winter ones so summer is here and it will be beautiful until September. Guaranteed.

Well we will know who to blame when it turns cold again won't we apricot!!

I am blowing very big raspberries in the direction of everyone boasting of hot weather grin

Lovely here in Devon - we were out and about today and the sides of the roads are covered in celandine and primroses - even spotted the odd bluebell! And the birdsong up on Exmoor was amazing - all that sound, high up in the sky, and not a bird to be seen. Is it skylark song time yet?

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 15-Apr-15 20:10:45

I'm with you marmight raspberries it is...... Green is my colour!
No actually it is 'Blue' at the moment ( More Bovril ! ) .

I am freezing here in the North East.Got the heating and my winter woollies back on.

We took 3 DGC to the splash pool at the local park this morning, here in Herts.
Had to keep tee shirts on them so they didn't burn.
All the oil seed rape, bright yellow in the fields, now.

Spent yesterday on the beach in Normandy, roughly level with the Channel Islands. DD went in for a swim!! DH managed it up to his waist. I stayed firmly on the beach because, as my family frequently tell me, I am a wuss when it comes to cold water.

I know this is a little off the main stream of the thread, but I am in Cyprus, the temperature outside the house is 14 degrees, I can see snow from my window and it is raining. I would love to be in sunny Wales right now.

Nelliemoser Thu 16-Apr-15 13:28:30

Pippa000 Sorry about this but you have made me feel good about being in the UK North Midlands UK with an outdoor temperature of 18C.

Hope you had a sunny day too katek

FlicketyB Fri 17-Apr-15 08:05:15

The weather has gone off in Normandy, waether pleasant but the sun has gone to be replaced by light cloud and quite a bit cooler - but I have turned the heating off.

Charleygirl Fri 17-Apr-15 09:27:12

The sun is shining in NW London but there is a nip in the air. I am not complaining because it is a good day for drying clothes.

mrsmopp Fri 17-Apr-15 14:59:51
