A pretty sunny day today down south here and tomorrow morning around 4-45, the Druids at Stonehenge should see a nice sunrise at Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice. 

The sky is still too light at the moment, but in an hours time, if they look to the north, they should be able to see the McNaught R1 comet Smile

A shade too crowded there Sue with the thousands turning up; But, I have my own sunrise photo planned for a 2012 BBC project that will be part of the build-up to the Olympics. So I'm hoping for a nice sunrise in about 4 hours time.

Come on Paul, don your robes and grab your Pentax, shout "Dragon" (ala Lord of the Rings) and when everyone falls to the ground, take your sunrise pictures.

Well, another nice day here in Berkshire; sunny and in the 70s.

Took my Canon Sue, and took a photo of the Nature Discovery Centre in Thatcham this morning instead, and is currently on BBC Radio Berkshire's Home page. I was asked to be on their radio station on Tues morning, but work unfortunately prohibited my dulcet tones across the air waves of Berkshire and neighbouring  counties. Smile

Oh, thats too bad that you had to work, Paul. You would have been very interesting to listen to on the radio.

We are cold today, our brief warm spell seems to have deserted us.

We are having high winds and threatened thunder storms tonight. Sadly we don't get rain, and that means fire. I know some firefighters who will be happy, but they about the only ones. 

How are the fires your way, Ruth? I know you have just as bad a fire season as we do.

Other than that, I temps have been in the high 90's, hitting 100 today.

Hi Sue:  We're good for fires this year right now, but earlier, we had a couple of doozies.  One burned just east of Flagstaff and totally deforested the entire side of a mountain.  And now, the neighborhood at the foot of the mountain is suffering the effects of flash flooding and landslides.  We've had a very wet monsoon the last two weeks, 2 inches of rain last weekend alone, and it's raining here as I type this.  Hopefully it will stay cloudy and keep us cool today, only in the low 100s or high 90s  Smile.  Get ready for hot and humid in NYC.

Weather here in Oxford returned to 'normal' today in beautiful England. It poured down all day, but I guess we shouldn't complain because the lawns are brown. However, whilst the grass stops growing, amazingly the weeds carry on big time! Temperature about 20/22 degree's.
