What is going on with the weather.......

phew, another scorcher here in East Anglia today. B-B-Q's at the ready!

Yep Goodstich44 scorcher here in Great Yarmouth to.

The beaches are packed for the bank holiday weekend

 And, of course, the newspapers are full of good news like:

Smog and air pollution

Hosepipe Bans

Traffic Jams

Desalination Plants being set up 

etc etc

Here in the Mid of the Midlands, it is marvellous.  Been for a couple of walks in the coutryside, the parks are full of people and, as an added bonus because the sun has come early, the cherry and apple blossom are a riot of colour but we still have daffodils and bluebells.  Beautiful and the BBQ is out for tonight.

Only problem is, my neighbour has decided to sand down his wooden floors, noisey B*****d.  Plus the petrol lawnmowers are in full swing.  Still, don't want to be like the papers and only look on the downside.  Hope it keeps up for at least another 10 days and then the weather can switch to Spain cos that's when I'm next going over.  I left my automatic watering system on at the beginning of March so I hope my garden isn't flooded out.

After a day spent outside re-potting our plants, washing all the duvets etc I have big V marks on my feet (from my Fit Flops) despite wearing factor 30.......it sure was a hot one here in San  Pedro del Pinatar

Today, the day started with a bit a rain but the sky is turning blue rapidly.....mmmm looks like the sun will be out soon.....I think breakfast on the terrance at the marina will be in order in about 40  minutes

We're three miles from Weston-Super-Mare's main searont which, finally, has been finished after many months of upheaval & our new Grand Pier reopened late last year.

It's been fantastic for days & generally good here since we returned from Spain April 9th too. We bought some boxes of Maltesers from Poundland on Thursday just before getting the bus home & put them in the fridge for an hour & when we opened them many were stuck together & I don't like HAVING to eat four at once!!!!
