Another stunning day here, picnic on the cliffs this afternoon - temp hovering around 21 degrees but with a lovely cooling breeze billowing off the near French coast.

A pleasant weekend coming up, hitting the low 20s in the South. You'll all be able to mow the lawn and have a BBQ thumbup

Some tentative signs of more long term warm weather in June, but the Atlantic is up to its old tricks and wet periods is certainly looking the most likely outcome.

Fantastic day here (and the week so far actually). Top down to and from work, and out on the balcony enjoying a beer and the sun now. Only problem is the lack of sleep - midnight sun time and it's not so easy to shut the body down. Snow is slowly going too!

I'm in Arendal next week - I assume that's an awfully long way away from you?

We could do with some sun up here in Lancs; for the last ten days or so (since I got my new motorbike delivered, actually frown) it has simply poured down with the exception of Monday. So I've managed a whopping 123 miles on a new bike. Grrr.
