What is going on? I have an apocalyptic thunderstorm, Nanny is midst a heatwave and BLT has hailstones - in June - this is not right. A round of applause to the first post with snow!
Still raining here but I'm not doing any more housework

Had very heavy rain over weekend but now realise we were lucky as I view footage of flash floods in nearby towns, Marple, Hazel Grove and Poynton. Well established Garden Centre, Brookside Nursery, had torrential flood flow through it, awful damage. Three days ago visited Heaton Park in North Manchester and sweltered in the sun noting preparations for a pop festival which naturally became a sea of mud this weekend.

Lovely day here - much better than forecast - good gardening weather, so mowing done, veg weeded and a bit of late gazania planted.

Thought this might be useful to clear up any misunderstandings. I work with an Irish girl who walks to work and uses all of the above!
Damp here too, not a day to be out in the garden or on the beach - a bit of wind too - about 18 degrees

I think its obligatory that it rains on music festivals. Really hot Saturday, rain yesterday but not cold, and a little fine rain today.
