I was promised an Indian summer today
I was reliably informed from the weather people that the temps would be up
to 23c. Not so here in Leics. It was 12 according to my thermometer in the garden. Grey overcast skies and very windy. At least it didn't rain. Tina |

Grey overcast skies and very windy. At least it didn't rain. In view of the forecast we decided we aught to "do" Westminster Abbey ( and a walk around the area) as we have never done it before, yes it is dreadful considering we live only 17 miles away. Wonderful day, used our free bus passes for a change so the journey was interesting too especially for me as I'm usually the driver and don't get to see anything other than traffic, and our friend used the Parish free pass to get us in (£15.00 normally, £12.00 concession). Not as sunny and warm as forecast but dry. A word of warning, last entry into the Abbey is at 1.30 on Saturdays and the garden is closed ATM. The Jewel Tower opposite the Palace of Westminster is interesting but not much to see if you are not National Heritage members, i.e. have to pay. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

I'd planned (given the forecast) to go birdwatching and enjoy the countryside in warm weather. I didn't. Tina |

You do have to admit that the weather people have been much more reliable recently, if they say it will rain at 1 pm it usually does. Tina |

Tina Only last week, I was having a cuppa whilst watching the weather forecast on the BBC. It said it was raining heavily across South Wales and that would continue until the evening. So I went back out into the garden and got a bit of sunburn on the arm! A couple of days later they forecast sunshine all day so we caught up on the washing. The sun disappeared and the rains came about 5 minutes after we emptied the washing machine. Had to put the heating on to dry it on the radiators! I must invest in some seaweed. ;-)) Jake |

We never know what the weather will be from one day to another and it rains a lot. It's why Brits discuss the weather all the time. Stand at a bus stop with a stranger and we'll talk about it for sure. Tweed |
