Cendrillon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I am beginning to wonder whether Spring will ever reach the U.K. [:(]Snow again today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Friday's temp here almost reached tropical levels at 21°C!Unheard of in these parts and at this altitude! (well, for March at any rate! [:D]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We're booked to fly back next Saturday, and realised yesterday that we'll have a 2-hour time change over the weekend! 1 at a time is bad enough - very bad planning on our part!

Sprogster Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well here on the Riviera it has been raining cats and dogs for two days and max temp today was 9c!Tomorrow looks better but more rain from Tuesday every day through Sunday forecast!

Mr Ceour de Lion II Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We put our clocks forward two weeks ago, and although we haven't had a lot of snow, it's been bloody freezing. That damned groundhog deserves to die and be eaten on a bbq once it warms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 For those in the U.K. they are now hinting at a White Easter[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 ''We're booked to fly back next Saturday, and realised yesterday that we'll have a 2-hour time change over the weekend! 1 at a time is bad enough - very bad planning on our part! ''I wrote too soon! Husband's recent illness needs an op, which the surgeon we saw today thinks would be better done before the 2 months recommended by th surgeon in Nimes. He would also like an MRI scan first to be sure there's no stone stuck in a bile duct. So unless we fly over just for the Easter weekend and drive back in the car we had to leave there, we won't be back nearly as soon as we had planned. [:(]Friends keep emailing to say - come back to the sunshine, we've seen Arctic England on TV and in the newspapers! It's awfully tempting to have a weekend there!

NormanH Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well it has been warm (18+ today) but very wet over the weekend so you haven't been missing too much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Again many thanks for the reminder. We are travelling "Ryanair" on that day from East Midlands and 1 hour may definitely be the difference between success as failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Still 2°c here [:(], dropping no doubt at night but I am tucked up in bed then.Funny thing is it just feels so much warmer than it did when the températures first fell, I went to the gym and swimming pool in very thin clothing last night and didnt feel cold, the same clothing in which I was shivering when it first went into single figures.
