wymberley Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Well, a bit later than usual but we've had one. A few days hot weather - both a tad more than normal - and a thunderstorm. Woke up this morning to a cooler and cloudy but nicely fresher day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 No thunder, lightning or rain here, still hot and humid........so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Very little cloud let alone any sign of rain , the weather girl said this morning that today will be the 7th day on the trot where the temp have topped 30 degtees , I was out before 7 am and it was warm then but now it is getting nice and hot with not a breath of wind , should start getting cooler tomorrow with a temp of 27 / 28 degrees . We were thinking of going to the Sandringham Game Fair today, but we are getting on a bit and the heat would be far to much for me , my wife and the dog , so maybe next year if all go well where it could be record low temp's , although I very much doubt it .

London Best Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I don’t mind the heat, it’s the humidity which makes it unbearable in this country. Much hotter in South Africa and Arizona, but dry heat and more pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it rains all day and from tomorrow we are set for 16-20deg temps for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yep, global warming is definitely down to people; Tesco's car park is heaving and the temperature is 0.5 degrees c higher than the surrounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM It was a tad warm there. By around 3pm the car park was half empty and some stall holders were packing up. Was ok, but not exactly a ‘Game fair’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By around 3pm the car park was half empty and some stall holders were packing up. Was ok, but not exactly a ‘Game fair’ Evening Jaymo , Although not a pedigree Game Fair I hope you had a good day non the less , we were never early birds and time we got there we were parking towards the back of the car park , the last time we went I dropped off a load of frozen Pigeons at Bambridge in Watton first , then went to Waitrose at Swaffham to get something to eat and a free coffee , and then we were on our way , we were only a few cars off from the car park when the attendant came out and diverted the cars to another car park , again it was a long ole walk to the pay desk , we found the fair alright but it was well spaced out , I got my arm stamped and around 3pm I went and got my motor and drove it within 50 yds of the entrance , had a bite to eat and left the dog in the back while we went round once more , we would then come out between 4.30 and 5pm and get on to the coast road and end up at Cromer for fish and chips so time we got home it was quite a full day , in todays heat it would had been just to much and the body isn't as fit as it once was , maybe next year if all being well ?

By around 3pm the car park was half empty and some stall holders were packing up. Was ok, but not exactly a ‘Game fair’ We usually attend this show as a family but only daughter and I went this time, the wife stayed home as she was not feeling 100% and my son said it was too hot. First paying visit anywhere and able to claim an OAP discount. Not so much a "game" fair now is it. Despite the presence of the NGO & BASC it has, like others, morphed into a general artsy, craftsy, clothing [the sort of stuff that is always "on sale, show special, discount" type thing that they all seem to get from the same wholesalers]. The usual demonstrations of scrambling bikes, mini pony driving, hot hawks, gun dogs retrieving dummies from the same bits of conifer cuttings they have done several times already. Long queues of hot sweaty bodies, irritable kids waiting for hot, often greasy food or ice cream [£5 per cone - no thanks]. I saw too many stressed dogs being hauled through the crowds. Daughter bought a couple of fleeces, I bought nothing. Looked at the Ineos Grenadier stand, had another sit in one, still couldn't convince myself they are worth the money. Spotted a couple of people I know but that was it. The usual long walk from and to the motor, 90 minute drive home, arrived knackered and sore which reminds me that 1. I'm not as young and fit as I used to be, 2. Cancer and chemo really does knock the stuffing out of you. Moan over. As you were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
