    The sun!...Don't know about where you come from,but round here every morning is dismal grey cloud. Half my bedding plants seem to be on hold with these cold winds.

    I used to love rising at dawn with the dogs this time of year,getting out in the country and taking early photos.Waste of time this year with these boring mornings.

      About the same here! We're only a week and a half away fromm T.T. so this weather is on par for the bikers, they always seem to get a good soaking. Typical!

      Nice pair of collies there raehoop.

      Actually until the last two days I 've been thinking what a great spring we have been having, we have had some good sunrises up to now, and still no rain.
      And relatively warm.
      The forecast says we might get a bit of rain tonight though.

      Last fortnight up here the nights have been pretty cold,I've had the heating on for a while some nights...and of course none of us have had the rain.Daft thing is it's gone 8 oclock and the ruddy sun's shining here,going down fast though.

      We do get it warmer strongy, but if that east wind gets established it can be colder here than in Scotland.
      But usually because of the wind we avoid late frosts.

      Here In The Central Belt In Scotland (Next To The Forth), The Easterly Cold Wind Has Been Blowing Since The Start Of May.:help:. There Is Not Much Growth in the gardens. The Grass has not a great deal of growth, Climbing Roses are not doing much climbing, Bush roses are the same,very Slow,Clematis Have Large Buds Ready To Open, but they are still Tightly Closed:fingerdrum:. WHERE IS THE SUN . :scratch:. CLIMATE CHANGE:scratch:.

      Only reason I mention it is because when we get an easterly in S.E England, nine times out of ten Scotland will be getting a S.Westerly.
