10 May, 2012

 

The wind and rain ended up here I think Bloomer! some cloud that.....well caught I hope you enjoyed your ice - cream :o)

10 May, 2012

 

Its been a strange day here as well, the wind picked up this afternoon and whilst down at the retail park the big orange gazebo that Halfords use was tossed over and smashed down on some of the cars parked near it, somebody would get a shock when they returned to their cars, luckily no-one was hurt...
Our skies were dark tonight Bloomer but not as low as yours, the first pic looks very dramatic...

10 May, 2012

 

Same here. Lincs and Bloomer, we,re on the top of a hill and about that time we were in bright sun but whichever way we looked were huge banks of black cloud, the white ones over us were racing....weird indeed

11 May, 2012

 

Hi Sandra.
Amazing photo of that black cloud !
Let's hope for blue skies today :o)

11 May, 2012

 

That was a lucky escape, Bloomer...and that first photo is brilliant!

It's very dry and hot here now - I have to get OH on the watering tonight...

11 May, 2012

11 May, 2012

11 May, 2012

 

Thanks for all your comments...seems like it was pretty well countrywide....and no,I didn't get my icecream...totally forgot in the 'moment' ..so something good came out of it ! Lol. ..and Pixi,I have looked for a lion..is it slightly off centre in the paler bit...snarling at me ? :o))
It's unsettled again this morning..very windy and sunny ...for now..in fact the first day without having to have the heating on!.....but for how long,I wonder..

11 May, 2012

 

Yes lol but its not snarling its smiling at you! lol ;)

11 May, 2012

Art group( Iwas running around first thing with a pair of secateurs this morning looking for inspiration.......and a busy day tomorrow too......

I,ve been twice, it wasa few years ago and the first time although it was members day was very busy so the second time we caught a really early train and got there just as the gates opened, we went straight in the big marquee which was almost empty and could see every thing, it was wonderful...then to the show gardens, again easy to getabout...lastly the sales aisle, we left atabout 2.30 having seen everything.........we did the same thing at the eden project...arrived before the tourbusses.....
