Le Temps, Het Weer, The Weather

Pour ceux qui ont un peu oublié leur anglais... 

Magnifique soleil aux Pays-Bas, pluie sur la plus grande partie de la France, on dirait que le soleil fait des apparitions en Grande-Bretagne... Plus que deux jours!

Voor degene die hun Frans of Engels 'n beetje vergeten zijn...


Mooi weer hier in Nederland, regen op een groot gedeelte van Frankrijk, steeds meer zonneschijn in de Verenigde Koninkrijk. Nog maar twee dagen!

For all our friends who speak other languages than French or Dutch...

Really nice sunny day here in Holland, quite rainy weather in the greatest part of France but it looks like the sun is trying to come through in the UK. two more days and we will be there!

Langue, Taal, Language...


Pour ceux qui ont un peu oublié leur anglais... 

(Mais non ce n'est pas de Brigitte dont je parle, bien sûr!)


Je vais essayer d'écrire mon blog en français, anglais & néerlandais parce que ce sont les langues de ma famille et de mes amis. Mon premier mail était destiné à ceux qui veulent nous "suivre" en Écosse du dimanche 28 avril au dimanche 26 mai prochain…

Nous partons du port d' IJmuiden (vers Amsterdam) dimanche et serons à Newcastle sur Tyne le lendemain matin. Après… C'est direction l'Écosse, les Highlands et l' Ile de Skye. Alors cela m'a paru amusant de créer un blog pour raconter un peu notre voyage. 

Voor degene die hun Frans of Engels 'n beetje vergeten zijn...

Ik ga proberen, zo vaak mogelijk, om deze blog in het frans, nederlands en engels te schrijven omdat het de talen zijn van onze familie & vrienden. Mijn eerste mail was bedoeld om jullie op de hoogte te brengen van deze blog als jullie het fijn vinden om virtuele mee te gaan naar Schotland van a.s. zondag tot zondag 26 mei...

Wij vertrekken zondagavond vanuit IJmuiden en komen maandagochtend vroeg in Newcastle upon Tyne. Daarna... Richting Schotland, de Highlands en Skye eiland. Daarom leek het mij grappig om deze blog te maken zodat jullie 'n beetje mee mogen genieten van deze grandioze landschappen.

For all our friends who speak other languages than French or Dutch...

I will try, as often as possible, to write here in French, Dutch and English. My first mail was meant to let you know about this blog and let you enjoy a little bit of our 4 weeks journey through Scotland.

We are leaving next Sunday, April 28th, taking the ferry in IJmuiden, near A'dam, and arriving Monday early morning in Newcastle upon Tyne. Then... Going north to Scotland, the Highlands and the Island of Skye. Het seemed a perfect way to tell you about our holidays and the stunning sceneries of Scotland.

Weather forecast: SW Scotland, Lothian Borders


UK Outlook for Saturday 27 Apr to Monday 6 May 2013:

Most areas will be dry and bright at first this weekend but a band of cloud and rain is expected to move southeastwards across the UK during Saturday and Sunday. Colder, more unsettled weather will follow in behind this band of rain, and it is likely to remain unsettled for much of the rest of April. As a result most areas will see sunny spells and showers, and some of the showers could be heavy with a risk of hail and thunder. It will also be breezy at times. Temperatures are likely to be colder than normal for the time of year with a chance of overnight frosts, especially in rural areas. There are signs of warmer, more settled conditions becoming established across the UK at the beginning of May.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 7 May 2013 to Tuesday 21 May 2013:

There are signs that the relatively cool and unsettled conditions will have given way to somewhat more settled weather around or just before the start of this period, with an easterly weather type during early May which will then probably prevail into the middle of the month. Given that the North Sea is colder than normal for spring, this will leave eastern and northeastern coasts colder than average, whilst further inland daytime temperatures will most likely be around average, and perhaps a little above average in the west and northwest. Meanwhile, more settled weather also increases the chances of below average rainfall amounts, especially in western and northwestern regions, with near or above average sunshine.
