The country is bathed in sunshine it seems,not quite here though I awoke to find a threatened rain shower had swept through delaying my grass cutting. By 11am the sun had dried at up. I donned my back support and started on the front a few days later than I had hoped which made it hard work instead of a stroll. I finished mowing both side before my back called end of play. As my back has been a little fragile of late I heeeded the call and left the strimming. All being well I will finish…

Yesterday the sun made ahother attempt at a long run but it didn't work. Today the weather is cold (16c) and raining. This is not good. We had two orthree dry but dull days leading up to yesterdaycwhich dried the grass up ready for another battle. I wasn't involved after tweaking my back and spending most of th time on my back vibrating chair. My wonderful daughter Ellen came rounnd with Mal in tow. Mal started off by filling a crack on an upstairs windowsill. Then the both set about…

After the gloros day of vsunshine in late June my weather has mirrored Fran's and I have been mostly cabined up. Last night as I took a final looke outside when locking up (at around11pm I guess) I spotted a break in the clouds to the north.It almost looked like daylightl It was a good omen with no rain and this late afternoon the sun finally won the long battle and now we have blue skies Here is the photo www.ipernity.com/doc/mickeyfez/50133638

We are going through yet another spell of lousy weather. It reached it's peak two days ago with 70mph and winds and more rain than we needed. Just up the coast there was a 24 hour spell in which 8inch of rain ha,mered down and we must have been very near that

Today had been uncomfortably hot and humid with temps reaching 32c with no breeze, Indoors it reached 27.5 c with every door and window open. Approaching 8 pm here and inside it's still 26c

My son Stephen has formed a bubble group with Gemma and Arron. This meant he could have Mia for a couple of days to give them a break. This afternoon I heard a little voice saying "Hiya greatgranddad" It was Mia of course. Stephen brought her round to see me she played in the garden while Stephen and me caught up Although I was itching to give Mia a big hug we still have to keep social distances of course, But that aside it was good to here her giggly laughter and to answer her endless que…

Temps have dropped by 10c and sadly I can't thrill the neighbours with a demomstration of my…

A glorious morning.a big change there. The original plan was an early morning walk but with a 50% chance of rain overnight that changed. I am well on top of the back garden but a few days behind on the front so the garden it was. I got suitable attired of course and must have looked like a fashion icon. A red sports shirt and Khaki shorts was topped by a straw sun hat and goggles of course to prevent accidents.Footwear was a very sylish pair of hiking boots. I think there is a strong chance…

After a wonderful Friday, Saturday wasn't too bad but Sunday,Monday and Tuesday I was cabined up again. Wednesday and Thursday it was knees out again and a lovely time in the garden pottering and mowing. This morning I awoke to winds gusting to 60mph,.at the moment they are down to 50 and will possibly dip into the high 40s later. This spell is set to remain until Sunday lunch time at least. So once again I am cabined up with two cats who hates this weather as much as I do. Roll on summer,…

After the recent poor weather today dawned sunny with temps up to 25c at 7 am. With this looking a to be a good day I set out on my first longish walk of the year at 7:45. I went to the beach and turned south towards Thorney Nook and on to the village. It was a lovely walk of 3.4 miles and was ready for my bacon and eggs on my return. I took a few snaps along they way. Here are my two favourites The rest are here www.ipernity.com/doc/mickeyfez/album/1272478 Ellen came t…

The sun is back and this morning I was off down to the park hoping the daffs were out.Alas I was about a week early by the look of the plants. The tulips were in bloom vbut they were brought here from the parks glasshouses. The lawns have alson been trimmed. All very nice but not why I calme here it is because the park leads to the little wild valley,my sort of scenery I had a nice stroll met 4or5 folk on the way and passed the time of day keeping the required distance between us of course…
