March 2014 weather summary.

Well March has been a pretty good month.

We've had some wind and rain but not too much and many days the sun has shone and warmed us through nicely and I have seen the bees making many journeys backwards and forwards with pollen laden baskets...always a good sign.

Hard to imagine that this time last year we still had snow on the ground and spring still hadn't arrived.

A couple of low nights have given some frosts but nothing below -2

During the warmer days we have been getting 16 degrees Celsius and on those less windy days it really felt like that too.

There is a saying for march...In like a Lamb, out like a lion. I for one am happy that this time the saying hasn't come true and today is a beautiful hazy sunshine just as nice (and maybe a little warmer) as the first day of March.

Of course not only has the weather improved but we moved the clocks at the weekend too so we have lighter evenings and it will be so nice to arrive home from work in the daylight!!


Warm, Lazy, Hazy March mornings!!

  1. I was thinking the same thing to my self today, 'lighter evenings mean more time in the garden after work'

  2. I've been waiting for the clocks to go forward, I hate losing an hour but it gives us more time on an evening to get some jobs done.

  3. Even though we've had a very cold month with snow March is ending with a very nice day. Now if it will stick around I'll be a happy camper :)

  4. The lighter evenings are the best thing about the warmer weather months. That means I have more time to get out to nature.

  5. It pelted down last night - just right for battering the magnolia flowers and plum blossom.

    1. I do hate it when we get the really heavy rains that knock off the blossom before we've really had chance to enjoy it!

  6. That last photo of a misty day is typical of what we've experienced here in the last day or two. Let's hope this type of fog lifts soon. Lighter evenings are very welcome.
