Another terrific week – mainly blue skies and warm to almost hot temperatures. Indeed, on Friday I ran across an article which suggested that the temperature in London was going to be higher than Athens and Haw aii. They were predicting something approaching 27^o C (81^o F) which would be the hottest day so far this year. The glorious weather has only been slightly soiled by a spot or two of rain and the occasional rumble of thunder, mainly in the evening or overnight. Never mind, the gardeners “need” the rain.

It’s been another fine week. We’ve had glorious sunshine for most of the week with reasonably tolerable temperatures – it got up to 21^o on Friday (almost 70^o F) although the wind has made it feel a bit fresher. The bi-fold doors have been swung open and the solar panels are working overtime!

Another great and busy week! And, we don’t have any visitors – how can we still be busy now that all of our houseguests have gone?

It’s been another great and busy week – what are the chances of that? We’ve had family walks, family dinners, a theatre outing, a visit to Coton Manor and generally just a marvellously great time. And the weather has been even better than “decent” – warm and sunny most of the time.

It’s been a great and busy week! Ben, Brex-Anna and Max arrived last Saturday for Spring Break and it’s been full-on ever since. They’re parked up in a lovely little cottage in the village of Eydon, just up the road and we’ve had a number of get-togethers and outings with more to come.

It’s been a pretty meh kind of week – the weather wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible – a bit of rain, a bit of sun, some cold days, some not so cold days. And, to continue in that vein, our week has been pretty meh as well. Dropped the campervan over for its annual service and inspection, had a visit from the plumber to resolve a couple of relatively minor issues and collected the van again. Wow! The excitement has been positively underwhelming.

It’s been a pretty decent sort of week – sunshine! We had clear and sunny skies most of the week with tolerably acceptable temperatures. Indeed, we got up to 19^o on Tuesday (about 66^o Fahrenheit). So warm and sunny that we had to open the bi-fold doors! Scorcio!

It’s been a week. The weather’s been mixed, some nice sunny spells and some cold and biting wind. Indeed, a howling gale one night but thankfully, not too much rain. Penelope’s croquet lawn has had two mowings already! This is way too early to start that grinding routine. And, it goes on forever! Damn this climate change.

Oops! Once again, no news is good news – we’re away (again) this weekend so not able to put anything meaningful together. A brief summary of this week’s activities will have to suffice. Sorry.

It’s been a surprisingly half-decent week. I know! What are the chances of that? We had less rain this week (although there’s still plenty more than we need at the moment) and even a few spells of modest sunshine. I am assured by people who know about these sorts of things that Spring will eventually arrive.
