Good morning early birds!

I think today is going to be just like yesterday here in Gloucestershire, wet 'n 'orrible! The clouds are flexing their muscles ready to soak anyone venturing out. Oh well, have a good day everyone, despite the weather.☼☺

Morning wbm, have been trying to post for ages... a lovely blue sky here in Swansea, we've got the g/children for the day I can be as childlike as I want,probably in a heap by 6 tonight....

[waterboatman]

Morning Bet xxx It's great having the g/children, as well as having fun being a nipper again, you can get your own back on your children by ruining their children and giving them back when they are tired and fractious. rotten trick innit! ☺

Being litlle'uns Bet, they soon burn it off. It's like a steam train, the faster it goes, the more coal it needs. Little'uns are animated disposal machines!

Morning beejay. Old Sol is peeping round the clouds at the moment, and I can see patches of blue sky. Shhh!

Morning WBM et all. Wet & chilly in Sussex. Good job we didn't plan a bbq after all. According to the weatherwoman on the box, it should brighten up. So fingers crossed, have a good day all.

Good morning WBM what a wild and stormy night , its really beautiful down here now though, I think the weather front has passed through. Hope you all have a lovely day x

Morning everyone. Persisitantly poured here yesterday which was a shame as it was the local annual Beggars Fayre in town. Mind you most of the pubs had indoor facilities for the bands and it wouldn't have stopped people going and enjoying a beer or several! Lovely sunshine here in the Valley now. Have a great day everyone xxx

[waterboatman]

Morning bryher and bensmum. The sky is brightening somewhat and the cloud is breaking up a bit. Live in hopes☺

[beejay1124]

is it a southern thingy

[wendilla]

Morning WBM and everyone it's been steady rain all day yesterday but dry today so far.WBM yes the spacestation is going over uk at the moment but I have not seen it this time as skies have not been clear enough. Tonight time is 10 27pm for a 6 minute view and tomorrow10.52 for 6 mins weds 11 16 for 5 mins. Endeavour the shuttle was delayed from taking off yesterday for 24 hours so if you type in NASA TV you will find out about that. Have a nice day all.

Hi beejay - it's a street festival with entertainers and live music in and around most of the pubs. It's done under different names in various towns here (Winchester has a Hat Fair which is a similar thing - not about Hats!)

[waterboatman]

Morning wendi. Thanks for that. I'll have a look if it is clear enough.
They are good fun bensmum. I remember them well!

[beejay1124]

had a quick google there bensma - a lot of things on the menu
morris dancers-lovely attire
shin kicking
nettle sucking
goat vaulting-different

[bensmum]

We know how to live down these ways beejay - surprised you haven't heard of goat vaulting though, it evidently originated your way

[beejay1124]

'state of undress' wasnt what i was hoping for , bensma

[bensmum]

I could have saved you the disappointment if you had asked beejay :D ( I know a lot of the bands - many rehearse at our place)
