Forecast looking good at last.

[mealsonwheels]

BBC weather forecast tonight said a dramatic change in the weather is due next week and the week after. The jetstream is at last leaving the south and going way up north, where it should be at this time of the year, allowing sunshine and warmth to our cold, wet bones

.
I do hope they've got it right, as we're away in the van for a week next week.

 

[NigelHutson]

Ditto!

 

[Parksy]

It's been a bit warmer here in the Midlands today, we could certainly do with some sunshine.

 

[Gagakev]

Dont tell anyone but I got sunburnt on Sunday

 

[WoodlandsCamper]

We would like rain next week, at least the first part

The past weekend was spent conducting functional trials on the new van whilst in the drive and on this coming Sunday we are going away for three nights to do the live-in test. We would like rain on Sunday and Monday nights in order to 'weather' the seams on the new awning and dry on Tuesday to take it down.
Can this be arranged please?

 

[Martin24]

we need dry from saturday morning until the 5th September please!! Away for most of the school hols and still not got the van re loaded from the factory as didn't want to take the upholstry etc in and out in the rain!! Colder and WET at the moment!!!

 

[Dustydog]

I've just discovered Sir Gagakev is away the same time as me in august.
This is a bad omen. It always rains when he goes away

.
Just waiting for the rain to stop then I'll hitch up and go down to Chipping Sodbury for an assessment on our recent failures.

I hope your wrong DD, here at Bourton on the Water CC site overnight. Travelled in rain this am. but beautiful afternoon now, I don't think even Kev can ruin it. I'm giving a guarantee now for next three weeks (to Dorset tomorrow.) Staying near Corfe Castle, don't usually do August but Grandaughter power rules!!!! (PS - even my dongle is dongling superbly. Life's good when it's orange) Folks sat outside wiping the 'rust' off now. Hose pipe ban back next week???? Hopefully.

 

[Gagakev]

I don't think even Kev can ruin it. I'm giving a guarantee now for next three weeks

Glad you have some faith in me Sir Gab------------------- but I would'nt bank on it

Tell me more about the guarantee, I need to know how to make a claim

 

[kopite]

At last its almost here of to sandringham on next week and high`s of 29C can i have the jet stream back as that is to hot ha ha

Hi Kev (should that be Jinxkev?). Your chance to slay the jinx dragon is now. Arrived Dorset yesterday site on entering not very inviting, reception in a 'traditional' farmyard - ie junk everywhere. But driving on to site bit more optimistic. Pitch ok, all grass. Awning up in beautiful sunshine. Then fish 'n chips in Swanage sat outside in beautiful sunshine. this morning typing this in beautiful sunshine (I'm getting fed up of this?)
Gurantee eh? If it should change you can have another fourtnight in September - you have my permission! (Don't think it will be needed - forecast even better)
Ps Dongling superbly (better than home)

This is one way to forecast the weather and it's instant!

I knew a chap who hurt his back getting out of his lorry's cab.
The doctor gave him four weeks off to rest. He toured Scotland!!

I'm off saturday week so you better make sure it doesn't rain this time.Knowing you are away too we have packed all our waterproofs

Have a good one and not too many Cornish Pasty's!!

 

[Martin24]

Wasn't too good yesterday for about 10 miles before Tamworth and the hour we sat waiting for the thunder, lightening, rain and hail to clear!!!!!! Luckily it was swmbo's turn behind the wheel

 

[Dustydog]

Went out with the dogs at 6 this morning and got absolutely soaked. It's still bucketing down.
In true Sir Gagakev form, he's on holiday.
Who needs the weather man when we have Sir Gagakev WC (BAR)

 

[kopite]

Morning Alan nice and dry in beds this morning just a pitty i`m at home and not away.If you can keep kev down country that would be great for this week and up country the following week it would be appreciated
happy walkies

 

[Sproket]

Well chaps it's cracking the flags here in East York's

Might take the awning down later, so it's nice n dry before we go home Monday.

 

[Martin24]

Hope you got it down before the shower we've just had, necessitating the third load of washing coming in before completely dry!!! Why on earth have you come to visit this awful boring flatland of powerstations and flood plains??? Oh our beloved Devon and Cornwall were lovely!!! Can't wait for the next 5 years and we can move back home!!!!!

 

[Sproket]

Awning nice & dry in back of the truck, just had a bit of the wet stuff & a few rumbles of thunder but nothing much, skys all clear now.

 

[emmerson]

We're off into mid-and - north Wales on thursday for two weeks, and as we all know it never rains in GoC, we should be OK.
(wellies and waterproofs are packed, tho!)

[Gabsgrandad]

Sounds as though you couldn't claim on the 'guarantee' then Kev. I/we got home Friday after 3 weeks (yes - 3 repeat 3 glorious weeks in Dorset) Dragon slayed for you Kev. (And I thought it would be against Woosie rules to use holidays for "work"?!!!!.)

 

[Gagakev]

Glad you had a good time in Dorset Sir Gab nice area to visit. And yes hope the Dragon has been slayed for good especially this year
mind you I'm looking forward to the snowman building competition at Poston in October
