The heavy rain last night has done me a favour. There were many plants that were past their best, but I couldn't bring myself to chop them back. Not exactly curmudgeonly, but it was time to move on. I 've learnt this year not to be a pruning wuz. If I'd pruned the penstemon back properly viciously, they would've looked a lot better now. Lesson learnt.
They zre a total PITA until they stop working! My OH suddenly got hayfeverw a couple of years ago. If I get it I'll probably have to take up an interesting sport like synchronised swimming but I'd have to learn to swim first😕
A couple of pages back we were moaning about really boring sports. Golf came out on top -or bottom depending on how you look at it - , but I didn't choose that one because it involves grass . Maybe the plants whose pollen caused the allergy don't grow in the north or maybe no one local was growing them. Before my husband got hayfever, he had a really bad sneezing fit in littlehampton. as soon as we left the town, the sneezing stopped. I will leave you too draw your own conclusions😉
I've had allergy tests, tho 30 years ago now. Conclusion was I'm allergic to sunlight and/or house dust so no point trying to desensitise me.
I just take a daily anti-histamine and that sorts out the worst of it and also helps reduce reactions to bites from the kind of fly that feeds on warm blooded critters such as me, horses and cattle but not OH. I also use fly repellent spray and always have tube of cortisone cream to hand.

I’m On my second type of hayfewer meds this year, flipping eyes are still itching like crazy and skin is itchy all over. I blame all this flipping Mediterranean weather we have been having. Im longing for a good rainstorm but the 14 day prediction is sun and heat. give me a break!
Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.
Morning B3 actually as long as no idiot allows rapeseed into their weeds or oak trees around I’m usually ok with the garden flowers. Most hay fever is triggered by a buildup of specific pollen types, I’m actually better outside as there is less concentration than in a badly aired room. To be honest it’s the air pollution here in Paris region that gets to me more than the pollen.
some days I get home and feel dirty Judy from being out in the polluted air.

Wierd weather patterns over the past couple of years have caused the release of some pollens to be delayed and then coincide with other pollens to cause a perfect storm. People who were sensitive to individual pollens, but not badly that it caused hay fever, are now overloaded with predictable results.
