Snow here on Friday and Saturday (gone now). It was 3degC at the Market in the early morning but apparently the wind chill factor took us down to -5. Not the best day I've worked outside!

Today's rare dull day turned out to be hotter than yesterday!
Spent the whole afternoon out in the sun checking Higher Biology (national exam) scripts against the provisional marking scheme. Markers' meeting at Murrayfield tomorrow.

So, this is Summer? It's dark and has been since about 1830 when we put the lights AND the heating on. The rain is thrashing down after a day when it has rained on and off all day, and is accompanied by a howling south westerly. My better half fancied some Foxgloves this year, 'they'll all blow down' I said, and they have!!

It is good to have some rain again but only 5 mils fell. That's, from memory, 13mils since April 5th. 10 weeks now without a good rain fall. Almost all grass areas in my town is dead. Some Scots Pines were planted on a roundabout near me 4 years ago. Now their needles are brown.
These photos were taken last month

Mark,
Isn't Ireland supposed to be the Green Isle ?

Heavy, rather thundery rain showers here today in Aberdeen, mixed with lovely sunshine in between. Probably too warm in the sunny spells to do anything other than burn off the much needed rain at a rapid rate

Yes Emerald Isle is true but in the North rapidly turning brown. In the last couple of days we have had 11mils in total but like Maggi it's very warm in between showers. Right now it's 19c. I've been in shorts every day since April and only reverting to jeans for my bat surveys just in case of brambles and nettles

Ah! yes Lesley that was the case. But the smirk soon went when I saw the garden this morning, Lilies, Phlox, etc. all flattened. I even got up at 0100, got dressed, and went out to close up the greenhouse top vents the wind was so strong.
Must have very brown legs then Mark?

What a beautiful Summer day today here in Devon! It was raining when I got up, it's rained on and off (more on than off!) all day, it's still raining now and highly likely it will be when I go to bed. The forecast tomorrow is for more of the same. If you are reading this thread Kristl I wouldn't be too hasty about including Devon on your itinerary.
