Easter approaches.

March came in like the proverbial Lion and seems to be going out like the equally proverbial Lamb.

So it must be time to tempt fate and switch to our Summer chat ....................... especially as this morning's sleet has stopped and the sun is shining brightly in an azure sky.

That's an enormous erection in centre - apparently foreground, but I suspect it doesn't grow out of where it first appears to, but somewhere way in the background. Yes?

The weather is not necessarily a bar ...............................

Oh I know some canadians who BBQ in the garage in winter, but, I'm not a nutty canadian just yet, even if I play GT AOnline with them a lot... :-rofl2

We need to teach the french how to wrap spuds up in tinfoil & pop 'em in a biscuit tin before throwing them on the bonfire... :-rofl2

And who would eat the spuds wrapped in foil if all the Frenchpersons have been thrown on the bonfire?

That's just a waste.

According to the Beeb weather, everywhere is going to be wet apart for the NE which is going to be windy and wet.:(

Don't forget to put your clocks forward for great British Summertime.

Not sure where the strong winds are that were forecast for here today - its a reasonably pleasant day. Occasional showers blowing along the valley with sunny intervals .
