Was a glorious day, we read, didn't bother with the re-planting - too hot

BBQ time we said.

Huge blacks clouds came over and we had the most massive thunderstorm for an hour with lots of rain .

So we de-camped to the new bedroom and lit the bbq in there. And ate there . Just come inside, as the rain has started again.

This is May for heavens sake

We've had a beautiful day, from dawn to dusk

Same here Di.

Looking at my folks today they are so brown, healthy and relaxed looking.

Wonder why your weather is so bonkers Jan?

Probably because we moved here

In the Algarve, it was wall to wall sunshine. And hot, for most of the year.

Here, we have more seasonal weather, as in England. And it's farming country too.

There are a couple of micro climates, not too far away, but hotter and wetter. Another couple of others are more temperate.

it's actually quite nice to have proper seasons again, but even the locals are fed up with the cold and long, long winter we've had.

Other than that, no idea - just one of those things.

I remember the 3 holidays we had in Portugal (all late August) the weather was lovely and hot in the day but we definitely all needed cardie/hoodies for the evening.

Atlantic chill.
