What a contrast to yesterday. Pleasant in the sun at 14 c. 

[matt111]

Nice and sunny so far, still not that warm but much nicer than the last couple of days. 12.4°C.

For the gardeners among you...Friday is national nude gardening day. Looks like the weather will be kind to you ...

That's odd, it coincides with national sit behind the net-curtains with a pair of military-standard binoculars day!

Just been in the middle of cleaning the pond, and it started heaving down. A bit of hail mixed in too!

A couple of v light showers here this afternoon but pleasant in sun in back garden as we continue to plant in our newly madeover garden.

Early next week looks promising with sun and temps in low 20s possible.

And as often seems to happen the bit heading towards me broke up and I ended up with nothing. Getting brighter again now.

One very brief and light shower around lunchtime, rest of the day has been sunny and very breezy.  There is rain advancing from the west now, but not here for a little while yet.

So, we had a frost. I lost my potatoes in buckets. ... took off the blackened leaves. Seeing if they will come back. A good day today, Sunshine .. hefty showers this afternoon, some hail.

Poor potatoes

[MP-R]

Jeez it feels cold out there! Looks and feels like a November evening.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning all, a wet start to the day, although a warmer start to the day than yesterday.

A rotten day to discover a leak in your walking boots.

[Mapantz]

Not as windy here as was forecast.

14.4mm overnight/morning. Sunny now and 12.8°C

Although it has to be said “Would you find a leak in your boots on a dry day?””

[matt111]

6.6mm of rain here this morning. Starting to brighten up now with a bit of blue sky appearing. 

[MP-R]

Foul last night and first thing but cleared up into an April showers sort of day.

[Mapantz]

Really nice now. Up to 14.1°C

Time for some more garden work!

[EllyTech]

A very soggy day following a very windy night. Moderate rain from the onset. Hail shower now. Lentil sized.

So, the onions are taking a bashing.

[Uncle Gargy]

First early potatoes are coming on nicely. Planted them before Easter and they did take over 4 weeks to show.

Sunny but very windy at the moment, taking the edge off temperatures of 12c.

[Frosty hollows]

Pretty grim this morning. Now getting a run of beefy showers. 12c and breeze moderating now. Looking forward to the spring this weekend 

[matt111]

Much nicer this afternoon, mostly sunny and a lighter breeze makin it feel pleasant or even warm when sheltered. 15.3°C.
