The only lambs I've seen this year so far are the ones
on TV.
It's lovely to see them in the fields. :-)

I saw the smallest patch of blue sky earlier, when we were on our way to Canterbury, but now it is overcast with fine drizzle ...Not too cold though.
Lots of lambs in the fields.

Gwyn.

My Westie is spark out in front of the fire :-D

Lol GoldenGirl and Ann, I get swamped by 'big coats' so can't do the long ones. It's been raining all day here, even the dog doesn't want to go out in it!

Lovely and cosy now and a nice cuppa would be
so nice :-D

Sheila, trouble is you need a long wet weather coat for walking around and a shorter one for the car. Takes so long to get ready these days it is almost time to come home before we go out!!! :-D

Thankies Ann.
Washing is still out there
Still bright and sunny but it's much windier than I thought.
All the bath sheets keep curling round the line and a dress on a hanger is doing is own wee twirly dance

rain here but brightening I think. Not raining hard.

Hissing it down here:((

Nice one Hayley, OH has just put the fire on :-(

its very sunshiney up here not as warm as it looks my washing is drying on the line first time this year :-D

Sheila by the time I get my coat on am ready for a lie down :-D

Anne hope you get your washing dry, blue sky
has gone here :-(

Don't worry Merlin it will be heading my way soon :-D

Yes, I'm having a rethink regards coats etc. Think I will get a really good waterproof and a warm down coat for next winter (although some of them are way too bulky, or too long) - very hard to get a coat just the right length :-D

Just started raining n(Again) in East Sussex. :-(

Your right Ann a rethink is needed, I felt it a lot more this year
also plus am not getting about the same to heat myself up,
loads of us in the same boat I feel. Saying that I hate to be all
wrapped up and can hardly move for clothes :-)

Early rain left a grey morning in Glasgow, but the sun is out now.... together with 4 loads of washing!

It was quite depressing to read that this year may be what we have to look forward to in the future because of the Artic melting and affecting the jet stream. So maybe we need to think about what sort of clothing we should be buying for future winters.

I must say I found this year that a normal sweater with a fleece top over kept me quite warm even without the heating on all day. But I could do with sorting something to keep my feet warm, even in socks and slippers they have been cold.

Island, I think everyone was taken by surprise this year
and how cold it was, even up here was painfully sore with
the wind and cold and lets admit it we don't dress for the
very cold weather. Stay well.

Emma, the recent cold didn't do me any good at all, never been like that before so I hope we can get cosied in against it next winter.
