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.

It will be blamed on global warming, no doubt.

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.

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

Very warm here, though I couldn't tell you the temps as I didn't look. *
But it was grey and overcast and muggy again.

Sacha,

You have no Indians in the U.K.. American Indians that is:-) Indian
Summer only applies to us, US as we have the real deal.

You can have "reliably" or you can have "weather people" but you can't
have both!

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.

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.

We here in Arizona see sunshine all year and enjoy a day of clouds and
more importantly (Hopefully) see some rain

You should live here in Britain. 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.
