Still here. Weather rotten. Main roads flooded. Summer Holiday? Where's Cliff Richard when you need him ?
Hope to get away tomorrow. Oh, well - it will be a different scene through another rain-bespattered window. Got my library books and cross-stitch to keep me amused. (And OH )
I used to say (still do I suppose) that between Tax's and Weather we have no control and therefore no impact no "moany". Here in Burton we are extremely warm and wet. Veg is just not getting on. Beans should be shoulder height but are no more than a foot tall. Courgettes no better and Squash really need sun. The prediction is no change till end of August by then aren't we moving in to Autumn.
Teesside yesterday was relatively dry although dull, the family arrived so it was mass bacon sandwiches at noon, the grandson said "better than big mac's any time" I should hope so. Today the leg of lamb is in the oven for a long slow cook "oh" and the weather? "well yes we do have some" high white cloud with what could well be a struggling sun although the Hills to the south are covered in very dark and dour cloud, poor "Rain" I keep telling her to move.
At last I can see the sunshine, it is lovely here today quite warm. I've potted on my Lavenders that came on Friday and they are now in the greenhouse enjoying the warm sunshine. I wonder if any of that heatwave in the USA will blow this way.
What a difference a day makes! Because of the dreadful weather we left setting out for our holiday until this morning; good call - there were several parts of the road that had evidence of yesterday's floods. The sun shone and the sky was blue until we approached Cornwall - then low cloud and drizzle! On the plus side, it did at least mean we were spared sight of the iconic landscape feature of Cornwall - the dreaded wind farms! But now safely esconced in Bude, the sky is cloudy but it's dry. Not a brilliant forecast - but not a wash-out, for which, given the "summer" so far, we have to be grateful!
Rain rain and more rain here in south Yorkshire, had a nice sunny morning today, then it rained again. In fact I'm wondering if the rain has taken all the leaves off my Coreopsis is this possible? I keep hearing people at work say that we are in for a heat wave September, I find it hard to believe.
Lovely warm sunny afternoon in South Bucks - planted a row of January Kings this evening at the allotment, but with weather this warm and damp I will be eating them by the end of summer!

Wow, I'm pleased to hear you have arrived safely, SV.
I watched the forecast for the coming week on Countryfile tonight, it seem it may not be as bad as last week...so here's fingers crossed for you.
