Well we lost an hour in bed last night, as we have done since the introduction of BST in 1916, but were compensated with record breaking warmth in the UK today.
Scotland reached 22.8C which broke previous records. Wales reached a maximum of 20.7C, Northern Ireland reached 20.9C, with England sitting in between the two with 20.8C in Keswick.
It was certainly an interesting day, during our walk (well mainly sitting) with Cazzie the geocaching canine, I spotted Blue Bells flowering. I wasn't the first, the phenology website run by the Woodland Trust notes the first recorded flowering Blue Bell on the 17 March this year. To put it in perspective, 2011 saw the Blue Bell first flower on the 12 April, which is the average time it begins to flower. It looks like its going to stay nice in the South West tomorrow, but the East will see fog.
What a lovely start to BST!
