Beautiful day. Beautiful evening.

I can get some digging time in now, I reckon.

[Andy Bown]

Why do phone cameras never seem to do it justice!?

[matt111]

Looks nice here too. 

[Saint coolio]

Yeh lovely sunset but cba with a picture

[Andrew_WsM]

Not quite as colourful as the above photos, but still a nice pink hue to the sky just before tea. Feeling a bit chilly out there today.

[jtay]

It was having the extra light, even compared to yesterday that was a treat.

First daff popped out today too. The snow drops are well underway. It's coming. 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay It's coming home ... It's coming home ...

We'll have to wait until July 14th for that.

My birthday, so I suspect I shall miss most events that day...

Should be warm enough on July 14th, though.

Was lovely working at home today with the sun beaming in through the window. Best day in weeks imo.

[matt111]

Turned out sunnier than expected today. Second time that's happened lately here, not that I'm complaining

[jethro]

Evening all, what a beautiful day it's been, positively spring like. The garden is coming to life, usually these snowdrops reach this stage of flowering on Valentines day so they're a couple of weeks early. The Aconites however are late by about the same time, confused garden.... 

Wonderful sunset here too, can't take credit for the pic (came from a local FB page), thousands of starlings coming into roost on the reedbeds at Shapwick Heath down on the Somerset levels.

 *Stormforce~beka* my spawn is a big grown up 13 year old. He doesn't wear his old mum's knitting any more (after I spent 12 months knitting him a pullover with crow skulls on it, ungrateful little toad) so I'm knitting socks for mates now. Much more restful!

I do love this time of year in Cornwall. The daffodils are beginning to peek, there's an azalea bush over the road which is almost indecently pink. The jackdaws are flying for the joy of flying.

Morning All,

 

A bright start with a stiff WSW breeze, mild.

 

 

[AWD]

And the cloud………. the grey……….. the dull is back!

Yes it is, damn nuisance. The overnight low of 2.3°C at: 01:26 has spent the last 7hrs slowly creeping up to 9.0°C, RH97%, and light air movement from the W, with Broken clouds at a height of 600 ft.

[Dorsetbred]

Some patches appearing allowing the sun to break through

 

 

[jtay]

Quite. Blue sky above at the moment and breezy.

Ordered 20 sleepers this morning for delivery next week, managed to get 2 in the car, so I can get cracking now. Thought it'd be cloudy all day, but it's decent enough.

[Wiltshireweatherwatcher]

Had some unexpected sunny spells this morning and with a nice breeze; its been good to get some washing on the line.

[Glenosnow]

Good afternoon all,positively balmy here,just leaving work.

Very spring like....feels a little warm too......don't often see that in early Feb.
