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...

Had lunch in the garden again today but definitely a nip in the wind, I agree Charleygirl a good laundry drying day , I could mow the grass but I think I'll just read my book in a sheltered spot for a while.. still mustn't complain must we grin

Warm and sunny here in Washington DC. All of you in south west can expect it to go downhill on Sunday when we get back to Cornwall.

Good weather has returned to Normandy but it is certainly not as warm. We are eating all our meals outside but DD has decided against another swim in the sea.

The chimney sweep came today. Ideally timed because for the last few evenings we have been warm enough without lighting the fire, so the chimney is all ready for next winter.

Still lovely here up North. We have been doing very well. I always feel sad for people working Mon-Fri when the weather is good only to have it change for their days off at the weekend. (Which I fear is going to happen this weekend. ) I always remember when working how much the weekend meant.
Oh how I love retirement !!

There are some lovely places in the north but the weather would just get me down. We had a great hols in York a couple of years ago in Maytime, however I was bone crushingly cold, especially on the coast in Whitby.

Living in the Thames Valley is good weatherwise, however we do seem to get a lot of grey days in the winter.

It was warm enough yesterday afternoon to sunbathe in NW London and I think that today will be similar once the early morning nip in the air has vanished.
