Just been looking forward to get a feel for the coming week-ends weather prospects and then strayed on into May.
Keep an eye on this:

Weatheroutlook forecasts -2c and-1c, but BBC Weather says 7c and 8c for those dates for my location. Just have to wait and see.

Thankyou Ancellsfarmer for the warning, going to be cold here too and I will also warn daughter, who lives not far from you (RG26) in 'warm' Hampshire.  Her strawberries on the patio are in full flower.  She is still a newish gardener and I'd hate for her to have a frost set-back.   :angel11:

Same site has now moderated their forecast a little but its necessary to "be prepared". Oh the joys of working with nature, but then if it was simple, anybody could do it!

Britain is set to be battered by hail, snow and gale force winds as a “Polar plume” blows in from the North Pole this week, putting Spring firmly on hold.
