Lovely photos. A couple of them feature a light blue colour at the top of picture. What is this phenomenon? Does it sometimes happen in this country? 😎

😂😂😂 Fraid not HeavyFoot I’m in New Zealand. I have my fingers crossed that Spring comes to UK soon. 😎

I was just reading that the Amazon was the land of the eternal rains, not now with all those forest fires, the UK is now the land of eternal rains, blue skies and sunshine are a very rare event now here in the UK.

Those are lovely photos of New Zealand.

I hope it returns soon Alan you must all be getting very weary with the weather now. The photos are of the tiny park near home which has a childrens’ playground and dog park. I run through it on my warm up. My new shoes did well, so might try them out on an 8k on Thursday and also parkrun. Are you doing parkrun on Saturday?

I hope to go to Dunfermline Parkun this Saturday, not sure at this moment how the weather is going to be, it could be very icy or wet in which case I will wait until the following week, but hopefully, I'll get the Saturday.

Aah! TC it was just a lovely day today and so unusual to have only light winds for a change, I just feel for everyone over there. 😕

Oh your photos Lexi. 😍😍😍 Wonderful. ❤️

You have no idea what it’s like here at the moment! I’m taking back everything I said last summer, wishing for rain as it was too hot! This is just ridiculous - and then there’s the wind. 💨💨💨💦💦💦💨💨💨

I’m off for a week in the sun with my daughters and grandson next week. It can’t come soon enough. And yes I’ll be taking my running gear! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏖

Enjoy your 8k. 😀🏃‍♀️😀

Oh! Cheeky I can’t believe how awful it is over there. I look at all the UK newspapers online and wonder when its ever going to stop. I hope you have a wonderful holiday in the sun and get some much needed Vitamin D. Happy running 😎 x

IrishprincessGraduate10 in reply to lexi6

I actually like winter but this is getting ridiculous now 🙄 I can get out for runs but I can’t get out in the garden!

lexi6 profile image
lexi6Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess

That would upset me too and it must be frustrating when seeing what needs to be done or even just enjoying pottering out there.The wind and rain seem to have been going on for such a long time now. 😕

At least I don’t have to do any watering 😂

I've just come in from a chilly sunny run🌞, (recently I have decided to try daytime runs). That said it was still very windy, and there were HUGE puddles to avoid, or not in my case.

The sky was blue, the birds were tweeting I saw loads of snowdrops and daffodils, so spring may arrive eventually.

Your pictures are quite uplifting lexi6 🤩😘

It was sunny here this morning for about twenty minutes ☹️

My garden tells me it’s spring but I’m not convinced yet!

lexi6Graduate10 in reply to Jell6

Thanks Jell it must be a little more cheery running during the day I can picture the snowdrops and daffs too. Your run sounded lovely. 😎

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and for taking me with you on your run. I feel a little brighter now, your kindness really is appreciated.😘xx

Oooh, blue sky! capri leggings! No clouds! Dry floor to run on! How I ache for the days! Mud and rain is getting so boring now!

Hope you had a lovely run.
