Come on Spring

[JHC]

We usually have a first fire in mid April but apart from two cold days it has been a mild period now having said that I expect mother nature to shut me up

One good thing to come out of this late Spring is the strawberries. They are going to be larger and sweeter than usual. We have already eaten some local ones and for this early in the year and despite the lack of sunshine it does look as if it will be an exceptional year for them.

I have just read that historically a bad May usually is followed by a good Summer! Anyone want to place any bets?

Actually woke up to a lovely day. Sun is out and we have lost that cold underchill to the air. However rain is forecast for later so it will be interesting to see how the day holds up. Hopefully some time in the garden today.

First blooms opened on some of the roses yesterday, only 30 days later than usual.

I just can't wait until I can enjoy some watermelon when it comes in.
That will be when the store gets it here.

Well, it has been beautiful all day. The Magnolia seems to have suffered though. Leaves are yellow and not a bud in site. I believe it is suffering from an over abundance of rain.

Quite a good bank holiday weekend but back to the rain and clouds now. We have now had twenty two months of drab weather.

Our almost summer winter is over now, getting the new global warming spring showers,
very windy rainstorms, day after day, dark with heavy rains, for a while, then sunny, for another while.
At least it's a warm rain.
I didn't even wear a sweater for one day this winter.

lovely -4 deg C I will have to go into long pants if this keeps up

I find it hard to believe it is only two days away from June and we are STILL lighting fires. Worst Spring I can remember and that includes the year we had snow in May.

We came to England to see our respective families in 1979 we arrived in May and had snow.

I remember it well Colin

Its bright and sunny again today but there is that cold edge underneath the sunshine. Although we sat in the garden yesterday it certainly was not hot, and the evenings are too cold to sit out without a coat and scarf.

We totally bypassed Spring ... went from the last season of Summer straight into this new season of Summer. We have two seasons here: summer and summer.

107°F here on Saturday ... We made it all through May without hitting the century mark, and then Jun 1st, whammo.

We have heat to spare ... and way too much stupid sunshine ... :lol:

Please please send some over here. We have had two bad Winters and a bad Summer in a row and at this rate we will be into Winter again soon.
