Sure was. Drove over to Lymington and back, last night. Pony/deer/cow watch was easy, as the open forest lit up a treat.

If you've got BT Sport, whatever's left of it is due at Stamford Bridge shortly. That's the only reason I have to watch Chelsea. Then it's going off.

Quite a squally squall line here.

Looks like that's our lot for now...

Too funny in there. Another beaut of a morning.

Yep, lovely out this morning.

It always depends on where the free parking is for us.

Beautiful down at Sandbanks today. Walked from West Cliff. Chilly breeze on the way back.

Hopefully the last rainy day for a while now. Had the Environment Agency voicemail/email last night about the rising groundwater levels over on Cranbourne Chase and sure enough, the closest field to us was starting to puddle up this morning. Had to chuckle earlier. Bought a chicken breast for the OH's tea on my walk to Downton earlier. Got home and couldn't find it. Called the butcher, who said that he saw me put it in my bag. At 9:30am, there's a knock at the door (we're 1.5 miles from the Butchers) and a lady from Downton had found it in the field a mile away; assumed it was mine and walked up with her dog to return it. A bit muddy, but it was bagged up. ?️

Avoided this, which passed by to the West at 8ish.

Clear skies above, but looking at the radar I'm going to put the wet gear on for walking in a bit.

Nice. We don't have a great view to the South, but I can see the cloud tops and the flashes from that direction. Looks like it's heading to the Eastern part of the forest.

A few flashes to the South at the moment.

Ha. The guys that I sometimes go with, are off there on Saturday. Sounds like they're making a weekend of it. 0 - 0.

Just picked up 3off tix for The Killers at St Mary's next year. Hoping for a better performance than the usual rubbish that we have to watch down there. Not quite as bright as advertised here, but much milder this morning. Yesterday morning was a beaut.

I was saying exactly the same to a lady over on the watermeadows this morning. It's not going to end well today, by the looks of it. ?️ The past few mornings have been fab though.

Done. We're soaking wet.

You Sir, are a gent! Now let's see if we can drag my mate out of bed early.

Hello @Mapantz Is there any chance you could advise what time the UKV has tomorrow's rain hitting the Salisbury area? We're due to resume bonfire building at 10am, but might pull it forward if we can avoid a soaking. Many thanks

That's where we are now. Haven't slept much due to the wind and the tastiest bit hasn't hit yet. Got to get down to Padstow for the Rugby in a bit.

Awful. My prediction was 0 - 3, but that was after 90 mins, not 20. England more than made up for it this morning though. Incredible stuff.

Off to Southampton v Leicester this evening. Going to be wet and miserable, by the looks of it. The weather isn't looking great either.

Moderate rain here now. Not very nice, although Sat24 shows a clearance moving in from the West. We're off to Trevone, nr Padstow next Wednesday for the rest of Half-term. It was looking decent, with HP building in, but not so sure now. Will have to wait and see.

Hello @jy. Hope all is well with you. Yeah, I just popped down to the brewery for a Quadhop takeout. It was pretty heavy on the way back.

Ha. Didn't even notice. Was busy working away, checked the radar, saw that and so popped out to the garden. It's v dark to the South. As you say, nr Fordingbridge. I don't have a great view the the South East, as it moves away, but the bits that I can see look pretty cool.
