Lou Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 We're just north of the Pyrénées, on the Gers border and it snowed a fair amount yesterday afternoon/evening. Switched to rain overnight and the snow is all but gone this morning. According to the news/weather report last night on TF1, the temp of 1 degree C recorded by the weather station at Tarbes airport yesterday was the lowest for May since the station was created back in 1946!!Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 We live an hour or so N of Ernie and no, also. On Thursday last my poor little lettuces were suffering in the 30 or so sun and now they are suffering in the cold rain. Don't be surprised about the bad weather, the Beaulieu strawbfest takes place on Sunday next.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Nothing has fallen out of the sky for a month here. On Saturday morning Mr C ventured the 2ks to our little InterMarche and got soaked but still not a drop here. The sun shines.....But my goodness there is the bitterest wind this week. Brrr.

Manon Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 We are in the Livradois Forez in the Auvergne. Two weeks ago we were sleeping with the window wide open and I had to get out my sundresses and the suncream. A few days ago I packed away the winter clothes and planted masses of geraniums in all my tubs - today we have a winter wonderland outside, the central heating is back on and all my tubs are covered up on the terrace ! Still - it's very, very pretty . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 After a dull cold weekend it's a beautiful day in Surrey today, blue sky and sunshine and really warm.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Here too, Cendrillon. A vast improvement on yesterday. But we really could do with some rain - the ponies have noshed a hectare of grazing already and normally I'm struggling to keep them slim at this time of year.
