  1. All grey at home about 50 m asl, but down at sea level the sun has emerged, stunning morning! I don’t care about the snow, when the frost and sun are in abundance. Perhaps come February if I still haven’t seen snow and walked on it squeaking and crunching beneath my feet I may feel differently! ️
  2. A proper freeze this morning, the bin lorry has broken down outside our house, the workers are all huddled in the cab awaiting rescue, my neighbour has kindly offered a flask of hot something! The clouds have gathered hoping to see a couple of flakes falling … It’s the Christmas tree lighting and mulled wine event at the village hall this evening, be nice to have season cold crisp weather for a change!
  3. Taken from the office window so not the best, but the rays of sun through the cloud are striking and beautiful this morning.
  4. Well there is a buzz in anticipation of a cold spell, I’m all for dry cold frosty, be lovey if everything dried out a bit! My sister who lives up near Onley sent these stunning sky photos on her early morning dog walk.
  5. Yep as mentioned a crackerjack of a day today, my high point getting a load of washing dry outside on the line . Marshalled for Hastings parkrun, what a difference a week makes, last Saturday was cancelled as it was so vile!
  6. So I’m pretty envious of these sighting of the northern lights I’ve seen on the forum. Popped out on the off chance they have made it down to the south coast. These are my northern lights, colourful and facing north… the next best thing…
  7. Yes my friend who lives there reports panic buying , and M&S restricting purchase of 3 items only, she has plumped for gin, tonic and lemons!
  8. It’s grim isn’t it,? I drove to Canterbury this morning and the road out from Icklesham to Winchelsea was as bad as I have ever known for flood water . My weather station has bust so can’t measure the rain but pretty sure it’s under the ‘lots of’ category! I also just noticed the amber warning pop up not filled me with joy. Mind you my friend living in Guernsey is having a terrible time with a fireman having to pump water from the front of her property, she is right on the seafront and the pictures of the sea crashing over on to the road are quite something.
  9. We were fortunate here on the south east coast to have blue sky and sun today. The sky is very pretty tonight.
  10. This pic sums the day up really, such a shame people put so much effort into the planning of the fete, I think the wind was the deciding factor, flying gazebo’s and an airborne bouncy castle are an ‘elf and safety’ nightmare! Anyhow the flower show in the hall is going ahead, it’s busy with people looking at the entries and scoffing tea and cake with gay abandon! Hoping to run the fete in September instead so let’s pray for an Indian summer .
  11. I think we’ve been relatively fortunate in our little corner of East Sussex, it was dry and fairly reasonable until early afternoon. I rang for a wedding in Iden, at precisely 2pm when the bride stepped out of the car the wind picked up and it started piddling down I felt so sorry for her… good old British weather! Fast forward a few hours and the drizzle has set in, it’s damp and miserable, more suitable for late autumn .
  12. Yes but it was hazy, even with my spyglass. It was interesting seeing Dungeness and the Fairlight cliffs from another angle! As you say it would’ve been even better on a crystal clear day!
  13. Personally I am enjoying this quiet spell of dry weather, very user friendly! i was over your neck of the woods @alexisj9 today. A drive to Folkestone and then train to Dover, a lovely walk back along the England Coast Path and part of the North Downs way, that took us up Western Heights , Shakespeare cliff, to the Battle of Britain Memorial for a welcome cuppa, and a weary trudge through Folkestone back to the car.
