Where Have You Just Been?

[Big Kev]

Just checked my CCTV and the sun is shining in Foulridge this morning. Clear blue skies and 21 degrees here in Tallinn, Estonia. Local time is 09:37, the sun has been up since 04:00.

Berthed alongside the Mein Schiff 1 in Tallinn. The weather has been lovely, I can't believe how lucky we've been. It's more like the Med.

Yup! You are doing well. Yesterday's early sun soon vanished behind the clouds and the word is that that was the best of the Bank Holiday weekend weather. We even have a yellow warning of thunderstorms for later today.
(Don't feel guilty!)

We went to Chipping Steam Fair for a couple of hours. The stewards were fantastic at getting everyone in and parked. The ground was amazing considering the rain we’ve had, only the odd sign of slutch. Well worth a trip out with lots to look at and loads going on, it was very busy.

[Big Kev]

I almost feel guilty sharing the weather we are having currently in Visby, on the Swedish island of Gotland, and it's 23 degrees. It's a very well preserved medieval village.

When in Gotland one just had to sit on a concrete goat, Paulette obliged

One of the many streets to explore

[Stanley]

Don't feel guilty, just enjoy it! We are to be treated to heavy showers here!

[Gloria]

Went to Wheels up North on Longridge showground yesterday, there were lots of noisy cars, which is what they seem to go for, and a beautiful black Lamborghini.

[Stanley]

I haven't been anywhere.....
I hope Kev's weather continues and that we can have a dry day tomorrow for my tryst with my daughters in Town Square!

[Big Kev]

Klaipeda in Lithuania today and the forecast is for 26 degrees and clear skies

[Stanley]

We'll be lucky if we get half of that Kev..... Glad you are getting the benefit!

[Big Kev]

27 degrees at 15:00 local time. Been out for a wander around in a sculpture park, plenty of shade under the trees. Back on board now for afternoon tea and a cold beer. We don't sail until 21:30 so have opportunity for another walk out.

The obligatory selfie (I have a selfie stick and intend to make good use of it).

Ooooh Kev, mystery objects.

[Big Kev]

Ooooh Kev, mystery objects.

They were a mystery to me Gloria

[Stanley]

I'm glad someone else is baffled! Enjoy the weather Kev, heating on again yesterday and could be today.

[Big Kev]

A bit cooler today in Warnemunde, Germany. Currently 16 degrees with a bit of cloud cover, expected high is 18. No rain though.

[Stanley]

9C here if you allow for the wind chill Kev. Heating is on. It's raining as well and when it started this morning it was really big drops.... almost like thunder rain.

[Big Kev]

Hopefully it'll warm up for next week when I get home...

10:15pm Tuesday evening somewhere in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Germany.

[Big Kev]

A bit overcast here in Warnemunde but the sun is putting in the occasional appearance.

[Big Kev]

17:00 local time and it's raining here in Warnemunde. Still in shorts and a tee shirt though, sat on the aft terrace on the ship, considering a glass of Pimm's

[Stanley]

In Barlick I am basking in the warmth of the CH..... We are promised 16C today Kev and yes, the glass and the temperature are slowly rising as we advance towards Flaming June.

[PanBiker]

We also have the added bonus that it will be summer in three weeks. Not tomorrow as will no doubt be declared before the Met department lot have to shoot them selves in the foot which often happens when you try to mess around with the seasons.

[Big Kev]

We went to the engine museum in Skägen this morning, I think Stanley would have liked it.
They started up a few engines on compressed air, this one sounded wonderful.

I'll see if I can sort the video orientation later, I can't find the settings for it on my phone.

[Stanley]

No need to rush back Kev, the forecast is for us to go back into winter almost during next week!

I'll see if I can sort the video orientation later, I can't find the settings for it on my phone.

When I open the video on my phone it orients itself, not tried it on a PC. It's the sound of the engine I like, it's almost hypnotic.

[Stanley]

Still stood on end for me Kev.
Welcome back to the realities of home.... No shirt sleeves for a while!
