Come to think of it, we've had a few requests to build outdoor rinks. Company specialized in industrial and larger rinks, so I don't think we ever built private outdoor rinks.

After the warmest February and March ever recorded, we've been having several days of temperatures around 27 to 28°C in the city. Not exactly normal for early April.

It'll cool down to 14 tomorrow, but back up to 25 the day after. I'm scared of summer if this is what April is like. :P :ph34r:

We've had a year of basically continuous rain it seems. Flood warnings on the Tyne.  The sheer quantity of water is causing big issues for nature :(

I spent the last two weekends building field drains in the garden in the hope maybe this summer we can use it? Its been out of bounds for a while.

I disagree.
Considerably better than last year which was a total wash out. We've had quite a lot of warm days this year but it has yet to become uncomfortably hot.

I've no idea what last year's weather was like :lol:

It's been constant rain, no sun, barely ever even hitting high teens/low twenties and looking outside right now I think it's hailing :weep:

Also my gardening has been a disaster and I'm choosing to blame that on the inclement weather.

It's 15 degrees now and according to the BBC weather app, we might see the sun in a fortnight :weep:

As I read in an old Encyclopedia Britannica (I think 1920s vintage), many years ago: "The British Isles have been blessed with the best climate in the world."

I have stumbled upon the perfect gardening strategy.  Leave for several weeks and let nature do it's thing.  And voila - I come home to beds of lettuce, kale, chard, chives and dill to harvest for my cooking.  With peas and Brussel sprouts well on the way.

A bit of weeding to do mind you  :D
