Thread: Spring Has Sprung

  1. #1

    Spring Has Sprung

    In our part of London/Surrey borders. Bifolds are flung open and it’s lunch on the patio.

    It’ll probably turn freezing again soon, but enjoying it while it lasts, and certainly a boon for mid-February!

    Yep, it's been quite mild up here in Manchester too. Opened the windows to the apartment this morning to let a bit of air in and it wasn't freezing. Think it's time to retire the winter coat as well!

    Yes, on Saturday and today, the thermometer hit 22C in the full sun and with no wind. *thinking of pulling my shorts from the cabinet*

    Distinctly spring-like in my part of West Yorks, tempted to take the MGB out for a drive but didn’t get chance. Can’t believe it’s mid- February, feels more like May.

    We need some rain, its been a dry winter in many areas of the country and that could spell trouble later in the year.

    Been gorgeous around here. Lovely and sunny and warm taking Dot out the last few days.

    Crocuses are up, hopefully spring is around the corner.

    Makes you feel optimistic again!
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    It’s like an early summers day today and set like this for the weekend.

    For others off for half term, enjoy!

    Coming home from work an hour ago the outside temperature gauge in my car showed 15c, whoooooooo hoooooooo spring has definitely sprung.
    The only downside is the sights you see out wearing shorts
