I have still not seen a frost in the morning yet! This is very strange. When I was a child, we were having hard frosts by this time of year. Bonfire nights on 5th November we're very cold indeed, so a

On a cold, gloomy airport this morning you would have thought it was mid-winter. However, after a few hours of daylight the gloom lifted a bit but never completely disappeared. Later, it turned very humid,

I think today was the perfect autumn day! Starting off chilly ❄️, but when the sun came up, it transformed into a glorious warm tranquil day ☀️. I soon needed to remove my jacket because I do an active

A mixed bag in terms of weather today. We had it all! Fog first thing this morning, then rain later followed by brilliant subshine in the afternoon. It certainly was mild again, I needed to take off my

I was out today walking this afternoon and spotted a stunning autumn sight. A young tree in golden glory! I'm not sure what species it is. It has strange fan like leaves. After a few searches online, I

Judging by the ambient temperature today you wouldn't believe we were approaching the autumnal equinox! 17°C was recorded today, an unbelievable figure for October. When I was a child, we would be having

Storm Ashley passed by today while I was at work. It caused little trouble save for the usual rain and windy conditions. I did get a little wet at one point but nothing drastic. It was very mild, it even

There are still some lovely flowers around the gardens of England! Like the pink rose in my picture. A nice specimen, and there were many more to be enjoyed in the gardens along this road. Guess what?

The weather turned out fine and sunny again today after a foggy morning. I think the rain passed us by in the south of England and went towards northern parts of the UK. So we decided to make the most

On this gorgeous warm sunny afternoon, how could I not go for a ride on my mountain bike? The temperature right now is unseasonably warm, but it will not last, so it was great to ride in shorts and short

A little shopping, a little running around for the family, and a little rest. That was my day. 😁 I ventured out into the balmy weather today wearing a raincoat. This autumn has been so wet with rain almost

Autumn can be beautiful. The trees are only just beginning to shed their leaves, but the colours of some trees are amazing right now. The temperature is unseasonably warm, and being out and about seems

On another very damp day (weather forecast apparently predicted a dry afternoon), it rained on and off all day. So an afternoon walk in a park had to be abandoned earlier than planned. Instead, we went

I completed my early shift at work. It was not a very eventful morning and actually quite easy, only two flights fir me and my colleague to cater. These two were also onload only jobs, meaning nothing

Even the Ivy is flowering now! I don't know if this is normal for all Ivy species to do this so late in the year, but I was surprised. It is marvellous what you can see in nature if you take the time to

During the summer our council is leaving some areas of the meadows to run wild. They do this to allow wild grass and flowers to mature and attract more insects as pollinators. I think it's a great idea.

I like my days off work 😌. Who wouldn't! But there is another element to this. What if you there are no more days at work? What do you do? This is something that is very close to reality for me! My short

It was another work day for me, but not a particularly difficult one, I must admit. All I needed to do was just sit in a truck for our journey to Heathrow Airport and wait two hours for a flight. We had

The most strenuous activity today was a walk into town and into the County Mall shopping centre. Walking through the old part of the high street, now mostly pedestrian only. Passing an old sculpture of

The day started bright and clear. However, it soon clouded over again, and as we set out for a walk in Tilgate Park, the rain threatened again. We were not put off, though, and we were actually quite glad
