General Chat

Morning all we have been out for fresh fruit and veg and then I have cut both lawns ready for the garden bin collection tomorrow. Blue sky and sun here but that wind is really vicious.

Same here now LG after snow and hail this morning :-0 :-0

My washing is billowing in the sunshine and wind...just saying Florence :-D :-D

What a lovely idea having this thread Florence. Cold and very windy here so no plans for me to go anywhere today. Thankfully we haven't had any snow which is good as OH is busy taking garden rubbish to the tip after we took a massive hedge out of the middle of our back garden. We've just moved here and the back garden is so badly overgrown we don't know how big it is yet. It backs onto fields, so is quite a windy plot.

No sign of snow and hail for us Ann it has been wall to wall sunshine from the start. There are a few clouds now but nothing to write home about :-D

Afternoon lovely people, it is very cold today when the clouds cover the sun but the wind is blowing the clouds away quickly so it is bright most of the time.
Just been on a short bus ride to the shops for fresh veg & fruit etc. it was quiet out so we were in and out of the shop and back home, now having a cup of tea.

The garden is looking bright now the daffs and other spring flowers are out , e have full sun in the front garden but not in the back so everything is a little later out there .

Hope you all stay warm and safe. :-D

Strange weather here 7 degrees but the wind is bitter so makes it feel a lot colder. One minute we have a snow shower, almost a blizzard then it stops and the sun comes out. Not gardening weather but no snow on the ground so far thank goodness.

Trying to do my Tesco shop for Saturday. I think I will have to come back to it as a lot seems to be out of stock, I guess they were wiped out over Easter and no deliveries yet.

We've just had another snow shower.
What a contrast to a week ago - when I was too poorly to enjoy it :-|

yes you got that wrong Island, annoying for you.

We've got sleet forecast with heavy snow later :-0

Hello everybody, just found this thread and hoping to follow along with all your chat. For now I think I shall make a cuppa and get out a blanket. Freezing here in Somerset!

All this snow and we haven't had any. Mind you OH's not complaining with having to take the rubbish to the tip. It's still windy though and very cold.

I see you live in Somerset Susan, I live on the Wirral so about the middle of the country. I thought with all the snow everyone's talking about you all lived further up North than me. You're not on your own with the cold though. I'm having to use blankets to keep warm as we don't have any central heating or hot water as there's no gas metre here. We only moved here about six weeks ago so are looking forward to the gas metre going in this week so we can have a boiler installed. I bet we end up with a heatwave then :-D :-D :-D :-D

We've just had a blizzard, it was like a pillow fight out there :-0
More is forecast, I don't think anyone will be tin tray sledging though.

Susan, welcome, I'm under a blanket on the sofa :-(

Susan you have been a member fir a long time.beelcome to the thread.nhave you been on the boards under any other name. There have been a few Susans in the past and .i donremember one from Somerset.

Welcome Susan and Gill.Dont think I have seen either of your names before.
Just started this thread this week and it's great to see lots of people popping in and out.
Feel free to share anything of interest or humerus to make someone smile.

Our snow did melt this afternoon in the sun,but there is a blizzard just now and my heating has been on all day.
I hope Susan you get your boiler installed soon.
Keep warm and stay safe.

No snow right now in Canada :)

Just closed our schools again...here we go again...

Its Gill thats waiting for a boiler.

We've had tiny snow today on and off but nothing like Florence. It waited till I went to corn the chickens and then it came down harder than it had all day.

Yes ,sorry I meant Gill!
Of course,always pours when I have fill the car with fuel,never fails.
Tesco came at 8 right in the middle of a blizzard.Poor driver he looked frozen and the rd was white.

Here's hoping the sun will come back tomorrow!

Thanks Florence, I'm having the gas metre put in on Friday then I need to find a gas safe engineer for the boiler. I had another company put the gas pipes in last week.
Shame I couldn't find one company to do all three jobs instead of three different people. Hopefully it won't be to long before we have at least hot running water.
What a luxury that'll be ;-)

We had some snow before but not much so OH was okay driving to work, he works nights so it can be a bit slippy in the mornings before the sun hits the roads. He said he saw the gritter out before so I think we're in for a chilly night.

I hope you have the sun tomorrow Florence. The poor delivery driver, I bet he was glad when his shift ended, so he could go home and be warm.

Loved the way you described the blizzard as looking like a pillow fight Island lol :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well thankfully or weather is now cooling down and we are going into our more normal Autumn weather pattern.

Interestingly, there are two potential cyclones off the North-West coast which could merge to make one super cyclone :-0

Hopefully they will just become neighbours and not friends with benefits :-D

Good morning Chit Chatters. :-)

Lovely bright and sunny morning here. Bit chilly though.

Not so clever when I put the bins out at 6am this morning. Mine was the only light on in the street. Maybe because so many are working from home, they do not need to be up so early.

Wrap up well, keep warm.
