Morning all. Looks as if there was a fair bit of rain in the night and drizzling now - also windy. But not cold (14C) so won't be joining you at the fireside @Pat E. Taking car in for MOT and clutch rescue in a bit. Was hoping to take some photographs around town as part of project 'improve the visitor experience' I am working on with the district council on the way back but no chance of that. Will be holding large brolly instead. This time last week... but we need the rain. Sorry @Hostafan1 - we are so much drier than you here usually, please don't begrudge us!

Having lived in a very dry part of Hampshire for 28 years, I don't begrudge you the rain at all. I'm concerned about going away next week and leaving the polytunnels.
Morning folks,first of all a big thank you to Dove for the blind baking tip. Was up at 6, made asparagus quiche,3 tiers of cake. Grandsons birthday tomorrow,am making an X Box controller cake. Sausage rolls in the oven now. Sticking to the rule of 6, of course. My daughter was going to have a BBQ,but her forecast says rain,so just us and his ,Dad.
Nice here again but the forecast now has a good chance of rain late afternoon/early evening. We could do with it! Barely had a drop since I bought a water butt
I watched,10.30 local news last night,it said rain in the night, humid,sunny today risk of an odd shower. Got up before 6,it was raining,it's eased off now.
We too have monsoons 💦💦💦. But after that hot spell I’m pleased - the garden needed some good steady rain.
Popped out to an NGS garden yesterday- a stunning Jekyll design. Sadly last week the deer had evaded the fences and eaten all the roses 🤭. I feel their pain 😡
Another day of swotting here. Today is all about soil 🤣. Judgement day on Monday. 4 exams on one day. Might need wine by the evening 🍷
But this time next week I will be getting on a plane ✈️ 🥳🥳🥳. Got a weekend in Edinburgh with my sisters. Extremely excited at the prospect of not sleeping in my own bed……..will be first time since March 8th 2020.
Very soggy here, empty waterbutts refilling rapidly. Light rain interspersed with heavy rain. I can see some gutter maintenance is required as we have a few leaks but I am not getting up ladders in this weather.
Hi everyone, we've been off grid for a couple of days. We went to deepest Herefordshire. We had 2 garden visits with the gardening charity Perennial. We decided to make a trip out of it so went on Tues, came back yesterday. We stayed in a lovely B&B not far from the gardens, as it was located in between 2 big hills there was no mobile service. We went via Ross on Wye on Tues, bit disappointing TBH . The gardens were Brockhampton, (not to be confused with the NT one) & the Lasket, Sir Roy Strong, has gifted it to the charity. Totally different, the first all about bringing the landscape in, the second, a series of garden rooms & an autobiographical story of his and his late wife, with each garden celebrating an event in their lives and careers. Yesterday we went to Hereford itself to see the Cathedral and the Mappa Mundi. We dodged the rain completely but it's monsoon here now.

Yes it was me @didyw, loved it and thought it had huge promise.
Very grey again today, praying for some rain. I have a lot to do before our holiday.
