Title: Is this the first
Post by: lill on April 01, 2012, 06:54:52 am
They say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb and vice versa, but this is the first time I ever remember that March came in like a lamb and out like a lamb, anyone else ever seem this. Oh I know it is April fools day but i am not joking here. Frost hard frost here this morning.

And here Lill, and breezy with it  :P
My neighbour who has farmed here all his life said the other day 'last time I remember it this hot in March it dumped a foot of snow on us'.
And what is it forecast to do on Tues.......

The forcasters get it wrong sometimes ???, maybe you'll get no snow, I have never seen pig wallowing in March, last April here was a drought, in may and every other month after that all it did was piss of rain, some bits of the fields are still a wee bit wet. Sun coming the clouds at the moment.

The sun is shining here, but it was cold when I got up so I put the woodburner on. Its still not overly warm indoors and its very breezy outside. Time to put some washing on me thinks!!

Yup, March in and out like a lamb here too - I've certainly never noted that before, I always think the saying is one of those that really works. 

And yup, BH says he's never known a March as warm as this one.  We've been warmer and drier this March than we were all last summer.  I had to get the hose out to make the pigs some wallows!  In Cumbria!!!  In March!!!!  :o

Beautiful here, and warm until the sun went down.  Chilly when I went out at 11 to feed the kid.
