Lovely once the cloud and showers moved on. Plenty of sun, with a light breeze. I even hung some washing out first thing, hoping some of the dampness would be blown away. Had a lovely beach walk along with a multitude of other dogs and owners. My dog is flat out, comatose, overwhelmed at having so many strange dogs to meet and greet. There were a lot of foreign visitors on holiday, most quite jovial with Christmas Spirit and good wishes for the day.
Just back from visiting family in North Wales, where it rained heavily pretty much the whole time we were there. Fine most of the way home and it doesn't look as if it's rained very much here. I drove back over the Snake Pass and Ladybower is still looking remarkably low for the time of year
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Still awful. Constant rain and wind. There was some "slight" relief yesterday afternoon but a boring repeat today. It is supposed to be improving later. Fingers crossed but I will not hold my breath.
Rain, rain, rain. The Thames meadow by Lechlade is soaked with water. We expect rain until mid January. It will not take long and the entire meadow will be under water.
They're not called "water meadows" for nothing, @Simone_in_Wiltshire... natural flood plains, useful for slowing the water flow. Until some stupid person in Planning decides they're nice and flat and would be excellent for housing.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
@Liriodendron Not here, no chance. Cotswold Waterpark for good reasons. Wouldn’t last one Winter any housing estate. The earliest time you can enter the meadows is May.
I wouldn’t even make it to Thames Head, where everything is most likely very wet currently and under water in two weeks time. I would almost bet my money that the Thames source is now giving water again (which is an exception).
What they do indeed is building a few houses along the A414 by Fairford, but even that part, despite being 3 miles far from the Thames and the Waterpark tends to be under water in wet winters. I wouldn’t buy there a house.
My daughter and son-in-law are supposed to be going to a Masqued Fayre in and around Truro Cathedral this evening. It sounds as if they will be getting rather damp around the edges! It is very grey and wet again. Really miserable.

It has been pouring for hours, still so dark I need the light on and it is 10.00 am.
