Gracie Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 It's brewing up a storm here too Monica, I think you could do a very good impression of Mary Poppins if you put a brolly up Look on the bright side, summer is on it's way and then we will be moaning about the dreadful heat soon enough, I hate that heat x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 It's surprisingly warm this week, despite the showers. We haven't had to put the heating on any evening so far. In fact it's now 8pm and I'm still wearing sandals, as it's too warm for shoes or slippers. I have put a cardie on though, as a slight concession to the evening drawing in. We put the heating on once this week, very early the first morning, it stayed on for a minimal length of time though as we soon got too hot. We were once advised by an engineer not to switch the heating off again until it has run at least 10 minutes to avoid carbon build up. Not sure if that's true, but we've stuck with the advice.

Gracie Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 We seemed to have dodged the storm but raining for a couple of days now I think although it's quite mild. Fantastic time to be out on a boat, not too cold or too warm and the unpredictable weather can make things interesting There's always the lovely pubs though Helen or batten down the hatches with a bottle of something nice. Have a great time x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 We've had a wonderfully sunny afternoon here at Paddy's Lane. However, there's now a dark cloud coming in from the west and rumbles of thunder so we've nipped out to bring our windscreen back up and generally 'batten down the hatches '. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an an degree of knowledge. And experience Mouldy. Listen up. We are going to experience summer weather during the next few weeks. It will be some of this, and some of that. For those in a caravan, in a camper van, in a B&B, in a tent. In a boat? I know where I would be, in a boat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 We are off to Cheddar in a couple of weeks so they can expect flooding down there the week before we go (Seems to be the pattern we have going on this year) Norfolks turn in July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's going to be a brilliant sunny day of 70 degrees or so they say so I'm doing a load of washing, which means it will probably rain at some point and going to the sea front with the boys and my parents for some fish and chips which means we will probably have the thunderstorm from hell Have a great day x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
