Sunshine.

Anyone out there got any bottled sunshine they are willing to sell us in the SE?

It's sooooo dull, grey and murky here. Feels like early winter!

Re: Sunshine.

Well Dan if you jump up really high maybe you can shine on the S.E. Any help would be appreciated. The gloom is getting to me too.

Re: Sunshine.

It's been like a November day here in Essex .... cold, grey, windy.

Good job I have been in work all day otherwise I would be seriously depressed .... mind you that was pretty depressing too!

Looks like the weekend may be better and my camera is ready!

Re: Sunshine.

Windy and grey in Lincolnshire as well with fret from the sea coming inland at times. Think the sun might have shown it's face a couple of times today, but if you blinked you would have missed it

Sorry to rub it in, we had a fantastic sunny afternoon here in Nottingham!
We went to the Wild Flower farm at Langor and had one of the best few hours seeing Odonata we've had for ages!..Sorry...

I can well believe it Graham, apparently talking to a lorry driver at work today if you headed inland for less than an hour from me the sun was shining.
Glad you had a great afternoon

Don't apologise Graham.
We'll be on your doorstep about 8.00am for a full English and a walk out in the Nottingham sun!

You'd be welcome any time Jules, you'd also love that Wild Flower farm, it's by far my favourite site in Notts, what we saw and got images of today in a couple of hours was simply amazing.

Re: Sunshine.

Yes, sunny, if windy, here in Sheffield but I couldn't find a single insect to photograph - to take advantage of the increased depth of field!

Re: Sunshine.

Today was a really sunny blue sky day today in the Midlands. I even popped down to the local reserve after work to spend a little time in the sunshine.

Re: Sunshine.

It was very windy in the South today, and it rained most of the evening. I don't mind though - sunshine is forecast for Saturday and I'm going to be outside all day at a party so I'm happy!

Wildwoman - I'll post you some sunshine on sunday
