| The building of the A505 Baldock by-pass (13 km SW of Royston) is proceeding apace as shown in this view taken from the Wallington road looking southwards on 28th May 2005 at 1023 GMT. The twin bores of the tunnel taking the new road under the Weston Hills are visible in the distance. The apparent slight 'haze' in the middle of the picture is chalk dust blowing around in a very gusty wind. In fact, this day was the windiest day of the month at Royston with a mean wind speed of 8.4 mph and a maximum gust of 39 mph. Despite the wind it was a sunny day with 13.4 hours sunshine at Royston and a maximum temperature of 20.5°C. | Pockets of brilliant red poppies have sprung up during June in the countryside around Royston, particularly along the edges of crops of wheat and barley. However, the above photograph (taken on 13th June 2005 at 1058 GMT) shows a planned array of poppies in the University Botanic Garden in Cambridge (21 km NE of Royston). In the background is the Cory Lodge which contains the main offices and also houses the Cory Library collection of horticultural and taxonomic works. On the other side of the hedge is the delightful Dry Garden which was established in order to demonstrate that gardens can be beautiful throughout the year without watering. | The morning of 23rd June 2005 brought forth a spectacular display of cirrus cloud in the skies over Royston. This view at 0839 GMT is looking E from a point some 2 km SE of Royston and shows also a large expanse of maturing barley. On this site a 24 hour vintage tractor ploughing event is scheduled for 13th/14th August in aid of a local hospital unit. The temperature at this time is already an unusually high (for time of day) 24.1°C, later reaching a maximum of 31.0°C for the day. The barley is gently swaying in a breeze of mean speed 1 knot, gusting to 4 knots. The cirrus cloud heralded a fine day with sunshine of 13.6 hours. |
