    possibility yes, but for how long... as again by the following weekend the chances are it will breakdown and we back to square one. where have the the summers of weeks of nice sunny/warm weather gone that i enjoyed when i was a child???

    The same can be said of the snowy winters I enjoyed as a kid.

    Pretty foul today when that rain arrived.

  2. Had a fab day yesterday walking along the beach at Seaton Sluice with my 11yo daughter. It was typical of what I think was a Northerly airmass? Clear blue skies but very little warmth in the sun, so grateful I wore my hoodie!

    Saw the daily Emirates flight fly overhead quite low, and several other aircraft leaving Newcastle airport heading for warmer climes. People walking their dogs, an old couple sat on fold up chairs reading their respective books, two pony's being treated to a paddle in isolated areas of shallow sea water as the tide went out. And I thought to myself, what a wonderful place the coast is.

    Happy bank holiday folks :)

  3. Yesterday turned out to be another glorious day, by mid afternoon there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

    It's that time of year though where it can be really pleasant in the sunshine (not "warm") but from tea time onwards it starts to feel decidedly chilly.

    Better than being overcast, wet and windy though so mustn't grumble.

    Yes, quite marked difference in temperatures depending on location.

    I'm off work this week and as is often the case when I'm off work, I'll go for a few drinks in town on a Sunday afternoon.

    I made the schoolboy error of believing that the warmth would last until about 8pm, so I went out in just jeans and t-shirt. By 5:30 I was bloody freezing! By 8:30 I was lying in a hot bath to warm up!

    nice few days with sum warmth and hazy sunshine, much cloudier and cooler tomorrow near coast. sunday/monday looking the warmest again away from east coast.

    nice settled weather but nothing fantastic... bit boring for me.

    *some not sum!

    Yes, no heatwave on the cards for us but at least it's not 7c anymore!

    I can put my boxers on the line in the morning and just air them off after tea.

    On a more serious note, being out and about is more pleasant now. I've been wearing t-shirts for the last few days so that's a major improvement on recent weeks.

  8. Been too busy to log in here the past 48 hours or so, but what a fantastic couple of days it's been!

    Left work yesterday in heavy settling snow just outside North Shields which continued for most of my 20 minute journey home. Today, a really heavy 45min+ shower of light rain/sleet/heavy snow (which didn't settle today). If only this set up had been 2 months or so ago we'd have seen fun and games. But still nice to get silly weather when you shouldn't be getting it!

    The overnight frosts have been hard too. Loved the weather from midweek onwards this week!!

  9. It's disappointing that as soon as the chances of wintry weather disappear, so too do the number of posts.

    It's the early hours of Saturday morning now, but yesterday was quite pleasant although it did cloud over after lunchtime. But pulling back the curtains this morning it was fantastic to see clear blue skies!

    Shame it's a bit downhill here on in this weekend though ...

  10. Gawd this weather is annoying, it's neither here nor there!

    It's coldish, but not white, not especially wet, it's not sunny (for long) and it's cloudy, and there's mist patches chucked in as well.

    But there's no mildness let alone warmth. Last weekend saw some decent weather but then as quick as it arrived, it bogged off!

    For heavens sake Mother Nature, make your bloody mind up what you want (us to have)!
