South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 30/09/13 ------------>

[Bluebreezer54]

Good morning folks, I hope you all had a good weekend. Cracking set of photo's from the weekend again Robin, and the views of Beachy Head and Belle Tout bring back some very happy memories.   I can remember a time when I was able to walk the Seven Sisters from Eastbourne to Cuckmere Haven, but that was way back in 2004 when I last managed it.

 

Next time you are out that way have a look at The Boat House B & B at Birling Gap, I stayed there many a time and the couple who ran it ( not sure if they still do ) were lovely people. Geoff and Anne. They went to the extraordinary lengths of having the whole building moved back from the eroding cliff face, similar to Belle Tout but on a smaller scale:

I digress. Some definate signs of Autumn here in the outer suburbs this morning with temperatures down to 7.3c at nearby Raf Northolt and fog quite prevalent. The sun is only now just beginning to break through the low cloud and mist that hung around for much the morning once the fog cleared, but it all adds to a nice seasonal feel.

 

Have a good week folks.

Morning Martin!

 

I watched the actual move of Belle Tout and it was an engineering masterpiece. It featured heavily in the BBC ! drama Life and Loves of a She Devil:

Well i'll be damned, the sun has come out now (after I changed the days plans, typical) well I have to walk to the post box and will go via the park to the next village for some photos then.

Still showing its hand here ( for now anyway )

Afternoon Robin. I say that clip was a bit raunchy for early afternoon viewing .

 

I bet that was quite something to see Belle Tout being moved, it's a spectacular location especially when viewed from the road past Beachy Head coming from Eastbourne. Bright and breezy best describes it here this afternoon and a very pleasant 19c. All downhill later this week though it seems.

suns out and just spent ten mins giving the Buddleja a hair cut

 Sorry should have checked all the way through first, only interested in the lighthouse!

I've got to stop speed reading  

 

[abruzzi spur]

Afternoon all

 

Just been out over what I like to call 'lunch' for a walk around the fields of Harefield and it got quite warm once the sun came out.  Speed-picked a kilo of sloes, big juicy ones at that, from my secret source - which is still laden with the little devils, so I could be back! 

 

Hope all are having a good day

afternoon all

 

its warm in the sun but queit cool when the sun is in,broken scatted sunshine here with plenty of cotton wool ,i like the sound of that coast i like home brews ,good on ya.

[throwoff]

I have been all over the other threads last few days, the snow and ice is massively different to last year (dare I say it is closer to 2010...)

 

Getting really excited now, can't wait till the month begins to die out and we get runs in for November/early December coming in.

[kate1]

Hello again all from an occasional (i.e. cold-weather only) poster, hope you're all in fine fettle - I held out until November last year but this year it seems all to be kicking off early... it's quite exciting, isn't it?!

 

On the Winter thread I've noticed a few people saying we can't have northern blocking (equating to cold) in late October/November and expect to get it later on in the winter as well - I know nothing, but this doesn't seem to make sense to me - it's not as if there's a quota which somehow gets used up, is there? Or is there in fact a knock-on effect of some sort? Forgive me asking in here but you're all much friendlier!

 

Btw Reefseeker, I will happily join your parent of foul-tempered teenager support group - I have two ten-year-old versions who are driving me crazy!

Afternoon all,

 

Been a bit of a non-descript, boring day today. The cloud has rarely lifted, but it feels humid and is completely windless.

 

Welcome back Kate.

Evening all - hope all is well in the SE & EA region - here in the SW it's been a simply marvellous day for mr Ps birthday ....

.... I'm feeling like the lady of the manor here ....

... Home from home really .....

Just waiting for dinner to be served !

[Bluebreezer54]

Call me selfish, but personally I just want to enjoy the best that Autumn has to offer first before rushing headlong into Winter. We should savour the seasons that we are blessed with here in the Uk.

So was the Greenland high in the summer of 2012 

Wake me up when it's snowing

The thread is already blowing up, I feel I might take a break from posting in the model thread, it's kind of getting ridiculous and newbies are being misled by people saying that there will be sunny and frosty weather when frankly the pattern has grey and cool written all over it.
