I've already had my several weeks of summer was over 30° at night and the only way to sleep was with the Aircon on all night.
Nice to get back to UK weather patterns and a nice thick quilt at night.
Ask me after another week of rain and I might be changing my tune.

We had snow in northern Spain in May
And it was snowing today on the top of Ben Nevis.

I'm waiting for Summer to arrive

Still dropping clangers and making it up as I go along
10 degrees and raining in not-so-sunny Shropshire today 🤷‍♀️

My conspiracy theory of today is, bearing in mind that the Earth is flat, all the Taylor Swift fans jumping in unison have tilted the World so we are now further away from the sun.
Football fans jumping have now put it back :party:

Lashing down this morning here in Cornwall. Been very windy as well. Grass pitches has made watching vans levelling up on ramps interesting, ( 🎶 slip sliding away 🎶).

For good weather the Jet stream needs to be North of Scotland but its currently below the Channel over France so we get bad wet weather ...

It used to amuse us when we lived in Northumberland. The climate was described by the locals as nine months of winter and three months of bad weather 😂.

Managed to get the mower out this evening, getting ready for the

Woodside Field Anniversary Rally

Why are weather forecasts so rubbish? You think with all the practice they would get it correct by now. If it is dry tomorrow might even get it finished before the Funsters turn up on Thursday.

Last year...
This friday coming I was in Stratford with granddaughter and it was heavy rain
The weekend after is RIAT and that turned into a mud bath

Loads of stuff was cancelled last year because of the state of camping areas


I've already booked my tractor to put me on my pitch at RIAT this year 🤣🤣

Sounds like the same year as we had the wet miserable time - in Cornwall and Devon
I’ve just come back from Cornwall last Friday, we only had one day out of 12 days that you could really say was a beach day apart from that it was mostly cloudy every day and even had rain on two days and the temperatures weren’t great.....just sayin

In Madrid they say
"9 months of winter then 3months of hell".
