Whats the weather like near you?

The amazing weather continues, though it's getting a lot warmer through the day.

 

I went out at 07:00 on the bike this morning with the GoPro. It was actually frosty, but warming quickly. 

 

I had the absolute privilege of seeing a white tailed eagle quite close (about 50m) and for about 15 seconds. It was enormous! 

 

The GoPro footage sadly doesn't do it any justice, but this was the spot where I saw it:

Argh! The weather turns to shit on Monday here 😲 😄

 

If anyone is in need of an inexpensive holiday - we have holiday cottage availability until the end of September. We even have the May half term week available too - flights from Stansted. It's all very easy. 

 

Here is our Facebook page for the holiday side of things:

It was tongue in cheek - a couple of days with a total of 1.5mm of rain forecast

I can genuinely only recall two days of rain since mid January. We've had a bit more snow, but apart from that and a couple of occasions of light rain overnight, it's only rained properly in the day twice in 4 months.

I wish. Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, 18th Variation, by Sergei Rachmaninov. Well beyond my talents (at least when played in it's entirety). 

I did see it performed once, maybe 10 years ago. It was Stephen Hough at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Wonderful.

Been lovely here recently, today was cooler and cloudier but the silver lining was upside down rainbows.

More than three weeks of lovely summer weather now. Generally 20-28c. Today was at the cooler end and a bit breezy but the water was still 19.5c. It has rained once in that time, briefly and mostly overnight.

 

To hit 30c mid week. That's a bit warm, to be fair.
