You learn something new as they say Tonight I found out that something I observed many years ago as I toured the ICI refineries at night has a name. Night Glowing Clouds? We in the north east apparently are best placed to see this phenomenon of clouds glowing and changing showing pattern changes and colours. I had seen the northern lights a couple of times and wondered if this was similar but no, it happens this time of the year as the sun below the horizon reflects on the cloud formation. The weather girl had pictures up and I knew I had seen it happen but it only can be seen on a narrow band across the north of England. It also showed the jet stream well south over France and Spain so more wet weather for a while yet then. Frank.
More rain!!!!!Husband and daughter going to a music festival this weekend so im hoping it will at least be dry especially as im the one that has to do the washing.
PLEASE!!! give me some sunshine and warm summer weather.We have had two whole days of non stop rain. "They" say there is no change to this weather for at least a couple of weeks, ooh I hope "they" are wrong.
We were dry this morning & so I dashed around doing errands & just as I got home, it began to spit with rain!
Anyway, lawn has been done, some cutting back of a finished large poppy so I could plant out an Agastache, plus copper ring. A Helianthus got popped into the back of another bed- temporary spot- & will get split/moved to its' intended position in the autumn. That's assuming I can actually get the compacted soil sorted out on that bed as planned. At this rate......
Now it's raining again! Is it worth washing jars for jam? Fruit picking not likely at the mo. Usually am listening to Wimbledon on radio whilst sweating over a bubbling jam pan in a West facing kitchen! J.

Teesside, Sunshine at the moment although quite a lot of cloud around, still warm though.

The BBC weatherman said yesterday that this horrible weather may last for 'another several weeks'.
Today he said there is a glimpse of a change next week-I need more than a glimpse
DAY 2
