cracking flags mon.....

 

if this is global warming,will do for me....

 

im of to the beach.

 

ill keep an eye out swimming policemen.

Cancelled a family bbq tonight due to ongoing coronavirus issues. Finished early so I could at least enjoy the sun in the garden for what could be the only day of summer. Sat here under grey sky’s with a glass of wine counting raindrops.

At least it’s warm.

It was 30 deg half an hour ago. My weather app now says 17 deg and rain. Still feels warm but It ain’t looking good.

High broken cloud and the bbq in fine fettle.

A half day heatwave 

Spoke too soon. Huge thunder storm area just to the west and a few strikes near by.

Might miss it, might not.

Leccy went off for a while a few minutes back.

Food cooked fortunately!

It dropped 13 degrees in an hour between 4 & 5 earlier on in horwich

managed our barbecue but they did take the food inside

Looks drier now

Sounds like they’ll have the pitchforks out soon enough to chase you back over the border. You timed it right to have already travelled north, at least.

There is that I suppose, however given the accents I've heard, there's a good number of us English here. If we all did one, they'd be skint as all the businesses would struggle.

Three cottages where I am; us in one, couple from Stockport in another, and a family from Derbyshire in the other.

In fairness, not been a hint of the pitchfork brigade.

My daughter and grandkids travelled to Edinburgh today for 5 days (they go every year to friends), they absolutely love the place, she phoned me earlier t o say she arrived safely and everything looked 'as normal'

Not sure whether they’d have cancelled your booking had you only been travelling up in the next few days, but the MEN article certainly intimated that way. The Derbyshire family would be fine though, of course 🙄  

Perfect example yesterday why I’ll never take main holiday in uk lovely until 4 then in comparison cold, grey, dreary, depressing, we had planned to eat outside but was cold n wet..... can’t plan fuck all.

It’s far from normal up here mate. Making a decent fist of it but it’s heavily Covid compliant in and around the city and quite a few places are still to re-open tbf and @birch-chorley will be able to testify to that effect. Nonetheless she will have a great time

Aye, we went last weekend and it was brilliant 

A bit quiet but that worked for us 

Most bars and restaurants open and straightforward 

@Escobarp gave us some brilliant recommendations, if anyone’s going give him a shout!

Might have done, never thought of that.

Just need nicola to lock us in up here now, and I might begin to feel like shemima begum.

Her mates house is right on the beach so the kids and dog have a massive play area, they love it

Normal service resumes. 

Shitty drizzle in st Anne’s currently.

I’m with you on that. Mrs wanted to drive to Wales last year for a week. the week before the weather forecast changed from sunny to overcast to raining to sunny to overcast, I said Bollocks to driving stuck in traffic with unknown weather. Went to south of France for 5 days in blissful sunshine.

Remember many north wales holidays as a kid, scarred me for life full week inside a caravan while bouncing down all week. Never again.  

Soft lads. Never heard of a coat?

Pleasant high cloud and sunshine for me. Lovely day for a mooch about in the sticks.

Bollocks to 30°C and too hot to do anything.
