Very murky start early this morning at #Greatstone. The chilly east wind has gone, it's almost calm today, the early mist & fog in the photo has disappeared but it's still overcast. #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

This photo from a cloudy #sunset sums up the day at #Greatstone which has been mainly overcast, ocassionally showery and dominated by a cool ENE wind off the sea. ☁️ #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Nice #sunset this evening with some red sky following at #Greatstone. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Good morning from #Greatstone, some brightness around after a few early showers. There's a 20mph ENE wind today, so not hugely warm at 12c, certainly not a beach day 🌦️ #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Currently reading and I must say very much enjoying The Collected Stories of John Cheever, 158 pages read, about 730 to go πŸ€ͺ I've been drawing him today to keep as a bookmark in this enormous paperback book. #books #booklover #art #drawing #bookmark #booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

Saw this in my feed this morning and immediately thought of you @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social 😊

Extra dog to walk today so just a quick photo this morning, very pleasant at #Greatstone, sunny, some high cloud, 14c with a 15mph SSE wind. Much better than the forecast predicted last week for Easter. Have a good day 🌞 🐣 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Bright and breezy is a good description for today at #Greatstone. The cloud magically cleared away during the dog walk. Nice to see a few Swallows battling against the blustery 25mph SW wind this morning 😊 🌿 πŸ¦‰ #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

This was taken just before #sunset at #Greatstone but as you can see it was a very busy sky of cloud tonight and little if any colour. #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Having been woken up by the sound of heavy rain this morning it has really turned into a beautiful warm day at #Greatstone, 16c, sunny with a light SE breeze. Photo over the back wall just now. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Atmospheric #sunset tonight with plenty of cloud around at #Greatstone. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

The red sky when I got up had disappeared by the time I got out for a dewy dog walk. Warblers singing everywhere this morning at #Greatstone. Busy day ahead for me, have a good one. 🌞 πŸŒΏπŸ¦‰ #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Low grade multi tasking earlier, watching cricket, listening to S F Sorrow Album by The Pretty Things and doing some art doodling as well with a psychedelic style drawing of Phil May, lead singer of the Pretty Things using watercolour brush pens, there's a likeness I think.🎸😊 #music #art #drawing

A cloudy #sunset again at #Greatstone but still quite beautiful and serene β›… #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Different feel to the weather today at #Greatstone with some fair weather cumulus clouds being blown in on very rare of late SW wind, mild at 13c. If the wind stays in this quarter eventually the rain will follow. 😊 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent 🌿

A sun halo this afternoon as the high cloud increases at #Greatstone. pleasantly warm though at 18c. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #sunhalo

Again a clear #sunset at #Greatstone, so some arty shots required 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

Wonderful stroll along #Greatstone beach this lunchtime, just a light variable breeze, sunny and 17c, warm enough for a few hardy souls to sit on the beach or have a paddle. 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent #coast #beach #sea

A couple of photos taken when I got back home to #Greatstone this evening, well after #sunset at around 8.15 and 8.30pm. The cloud continued to clear away leaving a nice afterglow. 😊 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

After an overcast day the cloud is just starting to break up this evening with a bright band along the western horizon. Not going to be at #Greatstone for #sunset so here's a few photos taken recently β›… #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent

After so many days of blue sky during the past weeks, it comes as a shock for it to be overcast and very chilly today. 9c with a cold 15mph NE wind. πŸ₯Ά Photo over the garden wall at #Greatstone. #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent
