I must be mad, it's February in England. I'm in the beach in the sun with a bikini and flip flops on :-)

So calm, so peaceful and enjoying the weather while the dogs dig craters in the sand :-p

It is cold here so enjoy your nice weather.

Balmy weather or barmy Sue - which way would you vote??!!

Actually Sue I'm with you, we've had the most gorgeous day here in Somerset.  I rather wish I'd taken a picnic as the dogs and I found a very warm corner in one of fields this morning - we could easily have spent a few hours lolling about :)

It's turned a bit chilly now though as the sun slips away...

Lucky you ! :) Here in Norfolk we have been erecting a greenhouse for the last three days in the cold and wind - not a ray of sunshine in sight :( :( :(

LOL!!!! Well I was wearing boots and a winter coat when walking dogs, and have the heating on!

Heating off here is lovely warm Oxfordshire and even nearly went out without a coat on with our evening walk but there was a nip in the air so decided to wear a coat but came back very sweaty and warm !

Can't wait until next week if the weather stays warm as it is my turn for the convertible so will get that roof down !

I was dog walking yesterday in tshirt (and trousers!) but we're apparently meant to be getting snow at the weekend!

And yes, bikini on the beach in Feb...Mad weather indeed!

> we've had the most gorgeous day here in Somerset. 

We certainly have! I was all for doing something special today as it's leap year day, and the weather was glorious. Yesterday I researched and mapped out a new walk in the Mendips, which I can get to by bus.... and then overslept. Mum also was unwell again which also scotched any plans I had!

I have told myself now that it's a walk for duller weather, and later in the year, as there are a lot of adders in that area who would be just out of hibernation and desperate to get some sun, perfect for an unwary dog to run across [literally].

Snow!!? Oh my word, low and behold I check our forecast and yea for next wed, where is this 80 degree weather someone mentioned the other day on this forum?? Now that I'm looking forward too :-)

We have had a really warm day here today too - but not that far away from you Sue as the crow flies. Children at school were out playing with just their teeshirts on whereas yesterday they were all in coats. I have two trees in the garden with blossom on alread and the leaves are starting to unfurl on some of the other trees. Night times though we are still getting a frost at times so not sure if the blossom will survive but it is lovely to see the sun and some blue sky for a change. I hate the grey of winter :-(

Another lovely day again today and walked about trying to catch a tan ;-)

Ye gods woman! Bikinis in February! I got up this morning to a real pea soup fog. Mind when it finally cleared we did have some lovely warm sunshine but I most definitely did not reach for the old bikini lol

It was absolutely gorgeous here in Manchester today but definitely not one for bikini's lol.
