Grey damp and dank again for most of the day. It did brighten up briefly this afternoon - but the forecast isn't very clever.
On the plus side, driving across Exmoor this evening, the moon was huge, yellow and was an amazing sight. May have been weather related or just some sort of atmospheric phenomenon - but pretty spectacular nevertheless!
It was a glorious day in East Anglia yesterday, but in the afternoon the breeze dropped and it became very close and muggy here in Norfolk - heralding the torrential downpour we have at the moment.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Guess what its raining again.Yesterday was lovely got the washing dry and i mowed the lawn and today its back to the wet stuff. Forecast is looking good tomorrow and hoping to go St Marys House and Gardens in Bramber West Sussex, they are having an open day for the NGS. So fingers crossed.
For once we have the (slightly) better weather. Although there's no blue sky, the clouds are white and high, there's a bit of a breeze and it's dry enough for me to chance putting the washing out! We may get some wet stuff later in the day, but given what dire weather is being experienced elsewhere, I'm counting my blessings!
It's been raining here (essex) since I got up at 4.30am (son on school trip to the trenches in Belgium today!) I've done washing in the hope that I can hang it out later but no sign of it easing! Lookout is miserable...really depressing. Strawberries rotting on plants before they ripen but raspberries good. Hoping that the wet weather will help my Cornus keep its strawberry type fruits this year - it usually drops most in the summer...every cloud and all that!
What a difference a day makes, it must have rained all night here on Teesside as I have a pond in the garden I did not have before and I do live on top of a hill? Woke at six and it was so black I thought it the middle of the night as against yesterday lovely and bright at five in the morning. It is still very wet although the sun is now struggling to make itself felt. Posh I did many schemes on Exmoor some at night with compass and map so saw some nice nights and some awful ones, once getting snow in July and having to search for cold wet and very dejected recruits, it was a long night. Daintiness, did your son take his bathing costume?

Sounds gorgeous Shrinking Violet - I love Exmoor.

Torrential rain has arrived in Manchester as expected. Am very glad that dont live at the bottom of a hill!
No chance to get outside- ha, even putting a wheely bin out tonight could result in a soaking. J.
Torrential rain here, too - not looking forward to venturing out later!
In Lancs..... personally, I'm considering building an Ark!

Words that come to mind: "brace yourself, Rodney, brace yourself".
