Whats the weather like near you?

Freezing buggery bollocking cold North East wind that has been blowing for weeks now.  I thought I would take Daisy Etta, the old D7 out to level the tracks that have been beaten up with the appalling weather and traffic.  She started first time as usual, with the 1300cc twin cylinder petrol donkey.  A few blaps and then smooth, all 14 litres of it. Nothing much is going to argue with the two ton blade and the total twenty tons of metal!  Does a fantastic job with the blade angled, leaves it like a billiard table.

 First track unfortunately straight into the wind so bollocks well and truly cooled!  Then down to the shelter of the log cabin.  The difference in temperature between two places on the farm less than half a mile apart is astounding!

Strange phenomenon happening currently. It's definitely not associated with a river or tap in any way, but there appears to be small droplets of fresh water just falling from the sky. Only thing I can think of is the end times are upon us...

Had similar occurrence here as well and a couple of loud rumbles but then nothing but stonking heat for the rest of the day.

Lovely day on Saturday and Sunday. Sun shone for the bride on Saturday all day.  About time too!  The wheat desperately needs a lot of sun to fill the grains.  Driving through the countryside I cannot help notice the abundance of greenery in the trees and hedges, must be all the CO2!

Baking hot here, dry as a bone and not a sniff of a breeze. Can't wait to fire the saw up and get cutting now the forwarding is done 🥴

Two o’clock today is a bit too warm for arbwork!

Only a slight breeze again from the North East, but not enough to cool

Raining torrentially outside. Finally. A few rumbles of thunder and 30c before the downpour.

 

We've only had 18mm of rain in the past 3 months. This is very welcome indeed. Some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen.
