Expecting rain I went out to the GC this morning. Picked up a couple of dahli's for 50p each and a tray of geraniums for £1. It stayed fine all day. Warm and sunny this afternoon so I did some potting up and kept popping inside to watch the tennis.
Drove up from South Wales after short holiday today to find my kitchen had been flooded after a very heavy thunder storm today. Good job my neighbour was feeding Rocky the at! Drove through really heavy downfall in Worcestershire.
well i live in the rhondda valleys in south wales and we have had only two weeks of sun all summer one in may and one in the middle of luly . my flowers have been average but my allotment has been awfull. our spuds had blight and our beans have lovely flowers but no beans
Mainly sun today not that it mattered i spent most of the time in the Velodrome and at the Boat racing, tonight was again special even though the medals were not going our way. My Daughter in California said she is disgusted with American TV, they are only showing American winners and medal ceremonies, I told her they never did like to see others doing a proper job of things. Just found out they have had heavy rain and flooding around Newcastle again, the same places as last time, I feel so sorry for them. Well Posh, your Andy got his medals without my help, I was busy pushing Clancy around the Cycle track, hard work at my time of life. My first Olympics took part whilst I was up to my ears in sand, I knew nothing of it, the next was radio and newspapers then B&W TV but we did have one of the first colour TV's and that made the Olympics special and they have been ever since, that's is when I was home to see them.
It's a crisp summers morn were I work in Truro, sat at my desk in the middle of the building not facing a window, (well I can see a small section of light, throught the hatch but not enough to see if the weather changes or even if the world end) listening to Planet Rock.
A bit of blue sky peeking through here in West Lancs . We had a storm last night and drove through 2 others on our way home from E. Yorkshire. Motorway horrendous- relieved to get home and then it started here. No gardening for me today - garden like a tea-bag. As we speak, the rains back again .
Sunshine and blue sky for a while then heavy rain and back to sunshine. Had the grandchildren playing happily in the garden until we got a clap of thunder, they sat in the conservatory watching the rain. It is all heading for the North Sea thank goodness although the Cleveland Hills looked a bit dubious.
The mother of all thunder storms is currently roaring above me is the greyest of skies. It's a good job I didn't have much planned to do outside today, tomorrow better be dry as the endless work at the allotment is planned to continue.
