Alina, sitting in bright sun in the conservatory a while back I was watching the biggest blackest storm cloud to my West and Heading South in your direction. Teesside today started fine then a shower and back to sunshine. I can look across the valley and see features in the Cleveland Hills so it must be fair over "Rain" at the moment. What we should not forget is April showers bring the flowers that bloom in May? Frank.
Sunshine and jolly cold showers reign supreme as they have for last few weeks really - since the hose pipe bans went on in some areas (not here though). Still very chilly at night, 2 - 3 d.C., still got overwintering plants in the greenhouse as it seems a shame to lose them having nurtured them since October - but need elastic sides to greenhouse now as seedlings and seed trays battling for position - tis ever so at this time.
Rain finally eased off so will take PennyDog out for a stroll downtown. Pricked out some basil seedlings, 3-4 per pot. Planted up 3 Ripcity dahlia tubers from Sarah Raven, they were huge! Might try to take some cuttings when they start sprouting.

East Midlands hasn't changed, still wet and miserable.

Rain non-stop in Somerset. Unremittingly wet and miserable.
In the West Midlands it's been fine, sunny & pleasantly warm so far today...looking a bit black over Bill's Mothers now though.

Frank, do you think you could keep your showers up there? I got drenched coming home at lunchtime.
And now, of course, the sun is shining...
