Today my outside thermometer peaked at just shy of 24°C
The pics are only 9 years ago. (sorry for reminding the ones it really badly affected)

Last year the blossom on the Apricot trees was destroyed due to heavy frost.

Hopefully this year at least they are set unlike last year. Whether we have a frost hard enough to destroy the set fruit I don't know.

All depends on which way the wind is blowing - such is the UK.

As did the Netherlands. The fückwits who pretend to run the country decided, the people who run the coals plants where slightly surprised and left a little bewildered as they don't have the amount of coal at hand to do it.

The stupid part it's taken them this long to decide they need to do this, they've wasted over three months to do something they should have done on day one, surely after all the threats from putin to invade governments reliant on energy imports should have made contingency plans months before and been ready to go on day one
