It was a beautiful sunny morning in Darlington.

It's still sunny here.

It is cloudy but the sun is threatening to break through.

Very much the same here.

Alternating between sunshine and rain.

It’s so cold. It feels like March.

It is cold, isn't it.

Lot of showers here, with huge clouds, and sun in between the showers.

I’ve had my electric blanket on at night.

Feels quite warm here.

It’s been like living in the USSR. Cold, mean, hungry, decaying. I’m suffering away with an electric blanket at night, and a pair of fluffy slippers I invested in at all other times. It’s not topped 20c for days, and isn’t predicted to for the next six or seven - I did spy one or two promises of 19c coming up. However, my ‘new this year’ bearded irises have come on a treat, so that’s cheering.

I've had to have a hot water bottle the last 3 nights, cos I only brought my thin summer pyjamas on this trip.

A thunderous hailstorm in June!

The big freeze continues.

It is sooooooooo daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark.

Cold, so very cold.

:cold:

Warmer than it has been.

It's turned nice and sunny here.

But with ominous clouds lurking.
