Yesterday I had a 30 mile ride around Berwickshire. I encountered sun, wind, rain and hail.

NW Wales.
Wind driven rain and still cool.
The first significant rain for many weeks, so in that sense it is welcome.
Though a shame for the campers.

Coldest April for 99 years.

Overcast on the outskirts of London, although sunny earlier, and going for a ride before the rain hits at 15.00.

I’m up at Killin just now and it’s so cold it’s surprising the rain hasn’t turned to snow. Came across a couple of wild campers this morning by Loch Tay. How they slept last night is beyond me as I kept the caravan heater on all night. : :)

It rained yesterday evening! :shock: The ground actually got wet!
First rain since 12th March.

We've had the odd flurry of drizzle, but it never lasted more than a minute or two, but yesterday evening we had "proper rain".

Absolutely bone dry again out there now ......... but windy.
Off on a ride soon.

It absolutely chucked it down yesterday in London, cats and dogs, but is bright and sunny now. More rain forecast from 14.00, so time for a ride before it gets wet again.

Couple of hours in the Lincolnshire alps yesterday got soaked to the bone on the return leg. This morning it is breezy and drizzle; it's only May after all :shock:
Just remember, when you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed. :lol:

Very gusty winds here in Somerset. Just popped out for a short ride to the farm for some eggs. We've got the ham so farm fresh green eggs just the ticket. :D

Yes, I remember many an hour reading “Green Eggs and Ham” to my children. They loved it.

Especially the tongue twisters in the series.

Lucky to have nice eggs on your doorstep.

Mild, wet and blustery here, would be almost like high summer in Norn Iron if it were 10° colder.
Have we got time for another cuppa?
