A 'chilly' 18c at 08:30 this morning, and, foggy, forecasted high is 31c. By 10:30, fog had 'burnt off' and temperatures climbing.
The forecast for the next few days is for some rain. It would appear the farmer nearby believes this, they were out until well after 22:00 last night, combined harvester operating under flood lights to get the crop in.
We leave here on Monday, but, I have booked a few more days away, Teesdale Barnard Castle CAMC Site, hopefully I have guessed right, and, the rain is not going to be a Noah's ark job.
Despite the cooler start to the day, it has warmed up significantly, and, it is much more humid than it has been todate. Not conducive to much activity.
We talk a slow walk into Misterton, a little shopping, and back again.

Another 'chilly' start, again, with fog and 18c. 31c is forecast for later today.
Another lazy day today.
Cycle to West Stockworth for Sunday Lunch. Perhaps, not a terribly good idea, only 5.5 miles, but, by definition, at midday and, very hot.
Book reading in the afternoon, and packing away, ready for our departure tomorrow morning.
Thunderstorms forecast for a lot of the UK for the next 3 days Ken but not everyone will get hit. Best keep them Ark oars sharpened and well polished just in case!
ReplyDeleteHI I've been following your blog for a few years now and always managed to come away with a smile. Love that you now do so many bike rides and are enjoying your own country so much. Your blog and others vlogs have inspired me to go back to England (from Australia) and get a small van to travel in. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteThe Wonder of the Web, Ken.....you have a fan from the other side of the globe! If you need to dodge the forthcoming storms when you've landed in Barnard Castle can I suggest you visit the RISE Artisan Bakehouse & Cafe at 13, Horsemarket, BC. They don't open until 8am on Wednesday but I can recommend the Full Brekky! Nice coffee and cakes too. I'll WhatsApp the menu but I imagine prices have increased.
ReplyDeleteNot cheap but very good quality.
