Just to confuse the issue, my tumble dryer is inside the conservatory so it warms that up! Too heavy to lift upstairs, not enough room downstairs in this terrace house.

And Jiries is to some extent right, the conservatory dries clothes quite well, provided of course that the sun comes out which doesn't often seem to happen in Jiriesland. I use my tumble drier only if I need something dried in under a few hours, so perhaps once a month.

Will Jiries' conservatory, in time, join his shed in the pantheon of TWO legends. I wonder?

It was great to have some sunshine over the weekend, not just as a morale boost, but also because the solar hot water panels kicked in, providing water at 55C yesterday. Back to square one today, though.

The weather has not been great overall this month but the coming week or two if anything looks worse. Cold, unsettled and potentially wintry at times.

It's just a shame that you actually had to go that far north to virtually get any wintry weather at all during the actual winter although I wouldn't exactly be expecting you to complain about that of course.

We need to come to terms that UK climate had gone worst and lost 3 seasons for good now. Autumn all year around are going to be like that for good and  need to survive this nasty climate change. Having the conservatory built next month not  for fun but to use for drying my washing clothes so no more outside due to aggressive daily rain and warmth for the house as summers getting colder and wet.  For sure France and rest of EU will continue warm to hot with lot of sunshine.

France's climate is deteriorating just as rapidly as the UK's. We have lived here since 2014, so ten years this October and it has seriously gone downhill. Spring is my favourite season but they have mainly been awful, with a few exceptions (2020). Last summer and 2021 were both washouts, with nights as cool as 8 degrees in August!

We are living through climate collapse.

Since returning from holiday last Friday, I’ve managed to dry all my washing outside.  No need for the conservatory or tumble dryer.  We’ve had rain but mostly at night and the warm sunshine and breeze has been perfect for drying out on the line.  

The flooding from heavy and frequent rain over the past few months has taken its toll on farming though.   Where fields are being ploughed and drilled, large patches of waterlogged low lying ground is being left uncultivated.  I wonder what this will do to food prices later in the year.  Lincolnshire has the same problem and they’re a big producer of vegetables.

I hope you had a good cruise Caz.

Anyway, back to the UK it’s probably similar here in Dorset regards cultivations. The soil here tends to be light over chalk or gravel and thus free draining but there are still areas of fields with waterlogging. Some of this is perhaps due to poor previous cultivations creating a hard pan. I don’t know of course because I’m not the farmer. The local salad producer has yet to begin cultivation because of the soil water saturation. The obsession with building houses on prime agricultural land continues but slowed over the winter because of the wet. Long/medium term impacts on food security? No problem as we can import our food needs say our Govt. However, a line of new houses for sale nearby show no sales since sometime last year. An indicator of the poor state of the economy perhaps.

Washing and Drying. Almost time to get the rotary line out now that the sun reaches this part of the back garden. I have though been known to dry laundry in the shed, which reaches dizzying Jirian highs of 40C + on occasion in high summer. But I’m sure I will be back here moaning about the lack of good growing weather in due course, either because of a lack of rain or the continued deluge.

This weather is beyond tiresome now, and there's just no sign of a proper improvement from the models yet. We really are due a long spell of high pressure now and hopefully it will time perfectly for late spring and summer.

We went to Anglesey for a day out today. The A55 has some lovely views along it anyway, but today there was snow capping several of the taller Snowdonia mountains. Could also see them from where we were at Llanddwyn (a few nice pics taken)

Yet another Holiday Monday of revolting, suicide-inducing write-off ridiculously cold, grey, drizzly and windy easterly rubbish. Time after time we have a hideous weekend only for Monday to be sunny. Pretty much the only rime it's crap is when its a holiday 🤬

The horror just rolls on with month after month of unadulterated garbage. Totally rank, grey, dull, wet March with hideous temperatures more akin to November. No frost since the 4th and only two in total which is the lowest I've ever recorded. At the same time the monthly max was a pathetic 13.8C which tied with 2020 as the lowest since 2013. Utterly abysmal low diurnal ranges most of the time. The precise opposite of what spring should be bringing 🙄

April has been a truly awful month in recent years stuffed full of repellent easterly muck with single figure maxes and slate grey skies abound. Can't even get cool showery NW'lies any more. Just horrid grey easterly dross. Anything interesting or pleasant replaced by the worst possible junk. It's unreal that we are looking at yet another poisonous month with an E/SE anomaly which pretty every single month has had since September 2022. Awful excruitiating and dangerously unpleasant filth 🤮🤮🤮

I'm glad we had a sunny weekend otherwise I would be so fed up!!

It's horrendous in the capital today, I feel so sorry for the tourists trudging around in this freezing wind blowing sheets of rain off a slate grey sea. It has been the same all day and has only reached 6 C. Yuk 🤢

According  to the law of averages, you would think that we would at least be able to get some decent weather at some point in time but according to the latest forecasts, there's just no sign of that whatsoever just now.🤢

Just watched the national and local weather for the next few days. Like today it's dull with cold rain for Tues and Wed and around 7 C!! A nagging NE wind throughout. Thurs & Fri, more of the same. It's lashing with rain here as it has been all day!!

A group of us are staying in a castle in Perthshire for the next few days, thank god it's got real fires for this eternal winter!! Doesn't look like we'll be hillwalking 😡
