Spent a pleasant long w/end in NEDerbyshire- t'was pretty warm Saturday & pleasant yesterday. No real rain to speak of. Did some walking & garden visits!
This morning walked into town for a market shop before driving back over the tops to Manchester. Had put some washing out before I went into town & just as I got back to the house it threw it down- washing now sat in basket by back door. OH says he may be able to reput it out for a bit this evening as fine there again now.
Drove back through sun & rain. My bit of Manchester is dry at the mo & more washing flapping on line. Neighbour said the hailstone layer was unbelieveable at w/end & now I wish had organised a clean out of our guttering this spring- oops- bit messsy beneath. J.
Dry with bits and pieces of sunshine here in Somerset. Not particularly warm. Not particularly cold, either. All in all - a bit of a nothing sort of day. Not very inspiring.
Unlike Andy's gold yesterday, Frank. Or the gold for the show jumping. Nick Skelton has been jumping for longer than I've been watching the sport on TV. At last he's been rewarded. But all these Olympics are doing nothing for my garden, the weeds and the dead-heading!
We had a thunder storm in the night, seed trays were over flowing this morning. Came home to a sludgy wet garden,droopy flower heads and discovered caterpillars eating the gladioli

Posh Having a daughter in law as a show jumper got you into some rare company as we followed the local and some national shows, we never missed the Great Yorkshire Show renowned for the jumping. Ted Edgar Harvey Smith and many more. Nick Skelton was one of Edgar's young riders and certainly a bit of a lad in his time. I was glad to see him come back and win his Olympic medal, that took guts. More medals today although TV was out until tea time as the grandchildren were here, we had a good thunder storm which they watched and then sunshine right up to sunset, came in a bit cool though, the clouds coming from the west were belting out to sea at a rate of knots so clear skies tomorrow then???
Night before last it poured with rain it sounded lovely but when it stopped the gutter on my neighbours house started dripping. Talk about torture. Its quite grey out today not sure if its decided what to do. I have to stay in as i have a whole in the ceiling and the chap is taking along time to mend it. Had a leak under the shower that we didnt know about until the ceiling fell. Such fun
Tenby west Wales,, wet and warmish today then hot and sunny towards the weekend and thats great cus were moving into our new house on Friday ,final move from Falmouth Cornwall some nice pubs and caf,s and an allotment, cant be all bad can it good luck all,
Had some nice holidays in Tenby, good luck with the move. Teesside today is blue sky above and to the north, the odd errant white puff ball cloud to the south and a bit darker stuff heading out to sea. "Rains" Hills ten miles away are bright with sun so she will not be standing outside like King Canute trying to turn back the tide of water. Not too much to do so may call up the road to our local nursery and peruse the plants (why does perusing mean you come away with empty pockets).
Wet, but beginning to dry up? in Manchester at the mo.
Surprisingly was wetter to the West of us, when me & daughter nipped to GC for coffee & cake & seeds etc. It wasnt wet at all when we left. We're nearer to the Pennines & so get the rain before it goes over the tops, & usually drier when go that way, but not today. No waterproofs & 1 brolly between us!

Heavy rain (again) - hope this nice weather we are promised for Wednesday arrives.
Grass looking good but everything else looks a bit sad.
