The clocks spring forward tonight - the countdown has ended

[lottie dolly]

me to sarrissuk,and i am not blonde,
lets look at things another way,1 hour is that bit nearer to planting,that itchy fingers have been holding back on,also longer time out side,given the weather.

Spring forward, fall back That's the only way a blondie like me can remember if I gain an hour or lose one. In my world, that makes a world of difference lol

You mean there may be other ways to remember? - says this "silver blonde"!

[SarrissUK]

I don't know VC - I can't remember! LOL

Clocks all fwd in this house already, and I'm hunkered down with a good book until summertime proper

So much for the heatwave: it only got to 8c here today, and the heating came on at 5pm

Sunny South Wales turned out to be just that again today - it was 20c - I walked all day with my Rambling Group and had to open all my house doors and windows wide when I got back.

Poor Two Sheds - I well remember the icy cold wind coming off the North Sea (my ex in-laws lived near Kings Lynn). Perhaps you will get sunshine soon.

216 days till the clocks go back

Are we going to have a countdown to that?

[Two_Sheds]

Perhaps you will get sunshine soon.

We have the sunshine, it's just not warm (cold North Sea wind, all the darn time). Our hottest hottest summer days are only about 20c

I've just come in from the garden where it was 17c in the shade at 5pm. Absolutely glorious day. The sun is still quite high but the sky is turning pink. Tomorrow it will be like this at 7pm and just as warm I hope.

Go on, rub it in a bit more

OK!! I've just been back out into the garden, there's not a breath of wind. The only movement in the trees are the birds preparing to roost and the blackbird is singing his head off. The sun is dropping in the sky and has turned orange, behind a light haze of cloud. There's a very high tide and the setting sun is reflected in the water. Everything looks still, calm and peaceful.
Your turn will come TS!!

[Two_Sheds]

I'm so pleased for you. Really I am.

(speaking from underneath a blankie, with the heating on)

What was everyone planning to do in the hour that will be lost?

I was either going to the dentist, or filling in my tax return. Oh well, what a shame....just won't have time now........

[veggiechicken]

I'd have been asleep - what's an hour less of beauty sleep when you look as bad as me?

There's a very high tide and the setting sun is reflected in the water.

Must be a very high tide if you can see the reflected sun from the Wenaullt!

Must learn to swim, Quick........

I can see the Bristol channel but not with the setting sun - wrong direction! Today I'm looking at a completely different piece of coastline, the River Towy and Carmarthen Bay. Sun has set now and the world has gone dark! Still warm though
