Good morning all, Thankmyou Beechnut.

Still have thunder here in SE Essex it is very grey, just waiting for the rain to recommence ☔️☔️⛈⛈⛈

Sar53, our Daughter has moved into her Brothers house, round the corner from you, as he and DIL have escaped to Ibiza for 5 days, 2 dogs and 3 children all scared of thunder and lightning!!!! I am waiting for a phone call???

The rain has just started here again and it is torrential!!!

Have a good weekend all, keep safe.

Morning all from a grey and windy South Notts.
Out soon for the newspaper with a giant crossword and TV guide. All the rain over the last 24 hours may mean that the lawn can't be mowed but no watering required either. I love my little garden but not so keen on mowing.
Hope all is well with everyone.

It looks like another miserable day (weather wise) here in Cheshire . I can honestly say I’ve never seen rain like yesterday ( made worse by the fact that it was warm and dry at home ). Heading home tomorrow morning . Enjoyed my day at the flower show on Thursday but nothing much else you can do in such heavy rain .

Have a good Saturday everyone x

Morning and thanks to Beechnut;Annie and all.
It has been raining here also. I am another who had a disturbed night, just could drop off to sleep. So looks like we are a sleepy bunch this morning.
Usual coffee with friends a bit later, then shopping to do.
Hoping you all enjoy your weekend.

Good Morning All x
Cold, blowy and wet here in Wirral-----as usual !
Missed you all yesterday as I'd got up, showered, breakfasted and hurtled out first thing in the lashing rain to Asda as there were a few household things that I needed.
By the time I got back, put everything away, had a bit of lunch I was all-in and it was afternoon before I'd gathered myself together.

Will be going to see GGD later as she turns 11 and will be showing off her new bike which my D has bought her. I doubt she'll be riding it yet until the wind and rain gives off.

Gillybob, the weather you experienced is normal for us in the NW, no wonder folk are miserable here when we have beaches and proms which we can't visit because of the damned weather, BBQ's few and far between too.
Hope Mick's weather is decent while he's on his break.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a (now) dry Godalming. Patches of blue and some sun showing through grey/white clouds. It simply hammered down last evening/night through the early hours but 19° now supposedly rising to 22°.
I'm off to M&S for food and flowers and one of the Cornish Pasty Co's cheese n onion gob-stoppers which I will eat at home - so delicious. ?
Better get my skates on as I don't want leftovers. We're lucky in that Marks and the pasty shop are only 30 or so steps from the bus station so I won't get wet if it rains.
I've been to Tatton many many times in my younger years gillybob and it was wonderful then. I hope it was just as enjoyable for you although the weather does play a big part.
Here's hoping everyone has a good weekend and plenty of relaxation after a busy week. grin

Jeez EllanVannin I’m used to sh*tty weather ( living in the North East as I do ) but I can’t remember seeing so much continuous rain fall in July ! It’s Impossible to be outside. Typical of my luck though .

I’m feeling a bit sick as a chip as last year my cousin and I chatted about the 4 of us having a holiday abroad together this year . It was always a pipe dream for me but they went ahead and booked and flew out yesterday. Feeling a bit sorry for myself today and wishing I was home where I could at least be doing something constructive .

Good morning all. don't know what this weather will do today in Bristol. Wont be going out as feeling really under the weather today cant put my finger on one thing, just feel awful.

Late to join you this morning as I couldn't find you all! Been away in Paris for my DD's 50th today. Quite a quiet day by comparison, but family dinner booked this evening.

Enjoy the day despite the rain.

Good morning everyone - is it still morning?

Not sure what we are doing today as DD and SiL with dog are visiting. May take the dog to the woods as the sun is shining and it is very warm in Leicestershire.

So sorry to hear about your holiday Gilly how mean of your cousin to go without you. Maybe you should just bite the bullet and book a week away somewhere - not Cheshire where it seems to rain all the time!!

Just been reading that the wet weather in Mobberley, Cheshire yesterday tea time was actually a hurricane gillybob! Trees uprooted, roofs blown off sheds.

This was in the news:
A miniature tornado ripped through the Manchester area on Friday afternoon 4pm
Strong winds uprooted trees, smashed cars and tore roofs off buildings
Areas hit include Tatton Park Flower Show, Mobberley and Stamford Park in Hale.

You have been so unlucky to come over the Pennines for this.

Sorry you feel a bit down today about not being on that flight with your cousin.

As soon as I boarded the bus to Guildford the weather hotted up and was positively roasting when I came out of M&S.
It's 23° right now in Godalming no breeze. Talk about changeable. confused
