Strong winds and storms are becoming regular companions at present; not continuous rain but nasty little storm cells that blacken the sky and dump huge amounts of rain at short notice. The five day forecast is for this to continue for the rest of the week but today there is a brief respite, windy but […]
Another bright start to the day but plenty of showers about. The Lunar progression has meant that we have a neap tide which is ebbing as we’re walking by the Harbour. As the mud is uncovered a host of waders are feeding on the many organisms that are still by the surface. Along the channel […]
It was a wonderful morning, it felt great to be out on the walk from East Head to Ellen Nore and back along the lane. The bright sunlight has banished the grey times we’ve recently experienced lighting up the sea, sand and countryside in bold colours. The tide was still out but even the mud […]
Named by the Spanish, Storm Barbara hit Southern England this morning with heavy rain and fairly strong winds after drifting north from the Continent. Wet and windy weather without the cold is fine, this morning it was about 16 degrees, a pleasure to venture out after buying essential supplies at Southbourne Farm Shop. The trees […]
The weather is just a bit unpredictable at the moment with all sorts of depressions about, although most of the wind and rain has been in the north. Here we’ve had a strong southerly wind yesterday which is continuing this morning so it’s surprisingly mild after several chilly days. Reports around the harbour are that […]
Another bright morning with a light northerly breeze, but not particularly peaceful today as it’s Goodwood Speed Week. The noise of the racing circuit has been carried south to us on the wind and is surprisingly loud despite the distance. The wining of high revving engines as they negotiate the bends in the track are […]
It’s a fine, fresh, Autumn morning with bright sunlight and a deep blue sky. There’s a sharp northerly wind that makes me feel glad I’ve put my Gilet on and want to keep moving. High tide is just after 9am so the harbour is full although close to neaps so there’s still plenty of mud […]
After quite breezy weather, some of which was ideal for sailing, there’s a quiet interlude. A chilly but light northerly airstream flows over the country but is almost non existent here, this morning. We went to Dell Quay for a ramble round the fields to the south which were strangely deserted and very peaceful without […]
Today there’s a brief ridge of high pressure over us between the depression that’s now over the North Sea and another one that’s in the Atlantic on it’s way towards us. It’s such a tonic to see the sun again, lighting up the trees that are now starting to show their Autumn colours. There’s plenty […]
The depression that’s causing Storm Alex is firmly anchored over Birmingham so, in the south, we’re getting a mix of sun and rain as the weather system circles around. For a couple of hours we’ve got fine weather so are off out to Hayling Island for a change to walk around the northern part near […]
