Thanks @KajiKita. Just back and got an hour for a quick catch up. Weather was very much four seasons but we had two glorious days, one on Raasay and one on Skye and the rain and hailstones the size of peas recede into the distant memory, once the sun shines. 

The weather feels colder back down here in East Anglia. We will need to look at our bees as soon as we can, and I've got loads of planting and potting on to do (not to mention weeding!) More in a while, I need to get the washing on!

Glad you had a good time despite the weather. It has definitely turned chillier these past few days down here - I’ve taken to bringing my plant babies into our warm (heated by freezer and house battery) utility room every night rather than leaving in unheated greenhouse - such a palaver!

Glad you had a good break, @Suffolk_lass. Not so happy about your verdict on the East Anglian weather being colder, as we will soon be heading in that direction! I think I am going to revise my selection of clothes for packing. 
Hope the bees have been behaving themselves in your absence.

Thanks @foxgloves. It might be me. I always struggle with the house cooling down after winter - our choice of a 4-oven electric aga heats all of the house with the doors open, so we use very little heating oil but conversely, I feel it when we turn it off for the summer. There is pale blue sky this morning but an expected top temperature of 11. After some washing and shopping I'm hoping the greenhouse might be warmer so I can pot on tomatoes and plant my squash seeds. I'll browse your diary later to catch up! SLx

Glad you had a good break.      There has been a cold wind in the south east corner for a couple of days now, hope it is missing the bees.

The temperature in EA has dropped dramatically in the last few days. The heating has been kicking in and the cats have moved back to sleeping in crates rather than boxes.

I think Raasay is so quiet & lovely.  We spent a couple of days there a few years ago & the weather was glorious. Did you walk along Calum's road? After hearing about it, I bought the book & the story of how one man took it on himself to make the road is remarkable.

Love a warm greenhouse - I miss pottering about in mine and the feeling of warmth x

Still here, but SO busy in RL that I am skipping the forums mostly at the moment. Got bee stuff going on. Back soon x
