It's all flat down there!

Come down and try it.........
North Devon is very hilly!

We are in Barnsley.

Scarey, currently parked up in trying without much luck to shelter from the heaviest hardest hailstorm I have been in, this is going to cause a lot of damage to cars, caravans and maybe buildings.

Purple sprouting and peas planted, chard and spinach sown. Weeding done.

87% chance of rain at 6.00pm. Going to get my kit on ready for the Hilly Thursday ride and make a decision at 5.40pm. Ride starts at 6.15, 25 minutes away!

I managed to nip out for a cheeky little 40 miler this afternoon, it got a bit damp in places, I was riding through Brinklow and got caught in a spectacular hailstorm, the first of three, plus a couple of short sharp downpours.

Town? (or should that be 'tahn'?)

87% chance of rain at 6.00 pm? Nah........6.15 it p****d down just as we set off.

Still another 25 miles, wet, cold miles, in the legs. Average 14.9 but I was off the pace.

Hot shower, jimjams on and enjoying the first home grown rhubarb crumble of 2019.

Devon and Cornwall Police seek escaped squid!

Following an incident in which the driver of the vehicle involved stated "they swerved to avoid an octopus". They now believe it may actually have been a squid from a restaurant, which somehow escaped.

The driver involved passed all roadside tests, after the incident.

Morning folks. We are back to cold and wet weather here.

 

[PaulSB]

everyone. Bright and clear, sunny sky this morning. Breezy and I haven't been out yet to test the temperature.

@welsh dragon I had a good sleep last night but woke early and couldn't get back to sleep. Forgot to take Bimuno last night and this always happens when I don't take it. Have you tried Bimuno yet??

A bit more allotment work today; turning compost heap, build a third compost bin, build wigwams for beans, prick out various seedlings. Then I think I'm on top of everything apart from routine weeding and tidying. I hope so!!!

Soil is in great condition; warm, moist after two nights rain giving ideal growing conditions. Fingers crossed.

Not yet. I try to stay away from pills and potions as much as I can

Morning all.

Sunny, breezy and cool here. No plans so will discuss the rest of the day with Mrs. jg when we take the mutt for a walk. Really enjoy that aspect of retirement; spontaneity, making choices on the hoof or just doing nothing.
