I hope you feel better tomorrow Alison

It's strange to be reading about the weather in the UK and realise this time last year we were over in your part of the world and cold whereas here it is so warm.

I hope you feel better tomorrow Alison

Thank you @Lab_adore. I do feel a lot better today. The swelling on my wrist has gone down which is a relief as I really don‘t want to go to A&E. It was horribly painful last night but just sore now. Fingers crossed it is just a sprain. My face looks a bit of a mess but that will heal. Sorry everyone for high jacking this thread. At least the snow/sleet/rain has stopped so ground conditions should hopefully be better today

 

[Joy]

@Atemas Sorry you had such a nasty fall. Hope your wrist continues to improve.

This was the level of the dyke which is fairly deep early this morning. I have never seen it this high

A beautiful sky earlier on when Joy and I went out to bring some logs in, but very wintry and Oh! It's cold!

It looks as if there is a fire over the hill. We have had those vivid skies here as well, just disappearing over the Malvern Hills.

Exactly what I was thinking too.

Hmm....perhaps there was! Although the lack of smoke and sirens tends to suggest not!

I don't think for one moment there was a fire! The skies lately have been very fiery

 

[VanillaBean]

It is supposed to be summer and warm...first time ever we have the fire on in December...

 

[Lab_adore]

Crikey...we had 32 yesterday and 30 today. It's 4.30am and I can't sleep because it's too hot. What a strange country we live in

 

[VanillaBean]

Well here is is like winter...only thing missing would be snow and I could say 'White Christmas'....

But is going to warm up by weekend to 35c....

 

[Emily]

We have the heating on!

 

[Lab_adore]

Your cold front is heading our way - boo, just in time for our lovely 4 day weekend at the Hunter Valley

But for now

 

[Sophiedoodle]

I’d take 22°C over 2°C any day...

This is one of my all time favorites, taken December 2016. The water was beginning to freeze, but still giving off steam, with the sun shining through all of it...

WOW @jazzmynn !

How cruel the weather can be sometimes. We are off to the beautiful Hunter Valley wine country on Friday (my birthday is on Thursday) for three nights. We have booked lunch on Friday and Saturday at two four star restaurants and are doing a food and wine tour on the Saturday. We are staying at a resort that has lots of lovely walks

but......dropping from 32 on Thursday to 18 on Friday. 18! That's winter weather here! And wet. Boooooooooo. I've had two days off since we returned from our trip in January as work has been manic and I'm so stressed.....so this weekend away is needed. Oh well, we will still enjoy our food and wine and each other (and a small break from labrador hair)

@Lab_adore, 18 which is the lowest on one day, isn't too bad, we would be quite warm However, I do feel for you re it raining, it always rains when I go away, so I just done't go anymore. Perhaps it won't be quite as bad as it says and you will have each other and super food and no work to do!

 

[Jacqui-S]

I hope the weather is actually not as bad as predicted and you have a fabulous time xx
