interested & confused

Local weather station showed 18C today! It's been lovely in the garden and on the allotment today. I needed a Vit D boost

Tanning might not be 'exactly good for you' but the Vit D your skin makes in the sun, sure improves your mood! It's been lovely pottering in the greenhouse today, even had lunch in there today

It's very hard to choose just 3! St Ives in Cornwall, although all of Cornwall is stunning. The High Weald and the South Downs. I love the Weald & Downland Open Air Mueum, with it's saved and reconstructed village houses http://www.wealddown.co.uk/explore/buildings/ The Norfolk Broads from a boat

Do you really think that anyone takes them seriously? Nobody I know does, we all have a laugh about them!

Local weather station still showing 18C now. Hope we get some rain, I'm fed up with watering again LOL

SAD, but true!

Same here, clouded over after a sunny start, but still 20C...................and we had some rain overnight Garden smells wonderful.

Still no rain here *sob*

Thick cloud all morning but not a spit of rain cloud is pointless without rain * grumble, fed up with watering, grumble*

Met office Yellow Warning of Rain says " later this morning and during Saturday afternoon, before easing from the southwest into the evening. Some torrential downpours are possible. Please be aware of the risk of surface water flooding, including local disruption to transport and outdoor activities." They were 'avin a larf' storm radar shows none anywhere near Kent. I'm still watering the allotment Grrr!

Same thing happened here, I was hoping for some rain tbh

Thank you for explaining.

Weird, I read somewhere in the last few days that the temperature in the Arctic was back down to freezing already *confused* How cold does it have to be to stop losing ice?

It will all be your fault now - whatever happens lol

Let us say they built a monument in what felt the right place (maybe a henge) they might find another place nearby that also felt right. They 'd then make a connection between the 2 places. Next thing is that the new religion, Christianity, liked to take over these sites, so built churches near to them, everything usually connected by footpaths....so' Ley' lines. Now what was it about the place that made it feel 'right' in the first place? - there must have been a feeling at that time, that here was exactly the right place to build a monument. The feeling for the place came first IMO - but what caused it, I've no idea

Ley lines are like devining/dowsing for water, some people do seem to get results with that, although not proved scientifically. The ancient sacred sites on ley lines were put there for a reason lost to modern man. I tend to be sceptical, but never rule things out completely - we simply don't know everything the human brain is capable of. Most people have feelings about places, some places feel comfortable, others can feel decidedly uncomfortable and you want to go somewhere else. I always act on these feelings, because I think they are often warnings from our unconscious thought processes. I've always been very aware of them when viewing houses, if they didn't feel right, even if the house looked perfect on paper - then I wouldn't buy.

I think it always smells lovely when it rains after weeks without any

I hope so, then I might be able to finally dib my leeks in! Ooh that sounds naughty, but YNWIM

Piddled down here, about 30 mins ago - just about got to the washing in time

Doesn't look too bad to me and you've got all winter to get it ready for spring sowing/planting Have fun, do a bit at a time to keep your back happy!

Don't know about East Anglia, but here in Kent it's cloudy and feeling cool (15C) this morning - a bit of a shock to the system after the last few days. Feels like rain is on the way - the garden really needs it!

A mostly cloudy day here with showers on and off, just the odd glimpse of brightness - hardly what you'd call a perfect summer's day. Seems to be a typical one, nowadays, though

I usually put on half a stone over winter through over eating carbs, and then lose it over summer, without trying as my diet improves with some sun. I haven't lost much of it this year, even the doc noticed at my last check-up. Oh dear! I'd better try to behave myself

You don't believe me? I don't like the look of it but the details were taken from the netweather Ashford forecast just before I typed the post. Disagree with netweather if you want

You may be lucky the forecast here, is for cooler and much cloudier weather, for the week ahead.
