Don't you just get sick, I've just had a HAIL storm and they were huge it's turned to rain now so the Summer for me was the last 3 days I guess, never mind it's August on Wednesday so maybe Summer will come back please please.
Great day here in Lancs - bit of rain this morning but cloud coming in now . Just checking weather for next few days and it doesn' t look good . Jet-stream back.
Chucked it down with rain for most of the morning. I think we must have sent this weather across country, since I saw it pelting down at some of the Olympic events! Lea Valley canoeing seemed to catch quite a downpour. I was interested to see the area - it's near to where I used to live - and I used to go there to pick wild blackberries and rosehips, as well as bicycle around the flat areas, especially the towpaths. It looks a bit different now!
Afternoon was lovely sunshine, although noticeably cooler.
Warm and sunny all day in this part of the NW, no rain, so I was out in the garden. Gave it a general tidy and planted out xmas spuds, this will be 3rd time lucky, very hopeful this time as it's the earliest they've gone out and there's heaps of time before the first frost.
The beetroot crop is looking a tab bit miserable, with leaves full of holes, me thinks I might invest in netting with frame for next year.
For some unknown reason I was locked out of the forum and not for the first time, usually on a Sunday, have just managed to get it to sign me in after quite a few tries, not happy.
Yesterday was a bit of everything on Teesside, sitting down to lunch with the sun shining a massive crash of thunder then a deluge and back to sunshine, my Daughter was over "Rain's" side of the Tees and said all the traffic was coming to a halt as the rain was so heavy wipers would not clear it. Today sunshine with the odd shower although very warm, we seem to be getting it from the west, well we do not want it so keep it over your side Joe4 and Zoomer.
You may get some of our West weather this week Frank.
Today t'was wet early on, no surprise there then. 2 lots of washing tumbled, then it began to brighten up. By mid afternoon it was dry & bright here in Manchester & so it remains. Anyone watching NWest tonight will have seen the weather from Salford - bright blue, cloudless, sky & sun!
Need to get the washing back inside soon though. J.
Dry and cool all day - but it's raining now. Apparently this rain is moving across the country tonight. One week of sunshine, and now it's "normal service is resumed"
Can't believe my luck with the weather recently.....went to Wales last Thursday, taking in Llangollen, Betws-y-Coed & Llanberis Pass, the weather was gorgeous. Today I visited Bakewell & Carsington Water in the Peak District and again (apart from a light shower) the weather was beautiful.

weather permitting, will be a peaceful time in the garden.
