Oh no, not a hurricane - we could do with more than a spot of rain, but last time I wished for wet, it rained heavily for a day or two and did plenty of damage to the petunias. Certainly don't want wind - does no good to our delicate plants does it. I'm one fussy gardener.
"They" are mostly wrong - "they" have to cover every possibility so "they" can say "told you". All thanks to Jack Frost or whatever his name was and the infamous hurricane. Gale force winds - it's a myth Verdun, she says holding her breathe.
It started to rain at about 2 p.m. and appears to have stopped now. We need the rain, but one heavy shower would be enough for me - not continual drizzle that doesn't wet anything properly.

Lovely day here so far, some high cloud but nothing we can't cope with - we need some rain. How's your weather Verdun - same?
Verdun, I spoke too soon the usual North East weather came up behind and kicked me in the rear end, summer??? what summer.

The good news: week off work next week and forecast is warm and dry!
The bad news: friend's garden 'festival' tomorrow and forecast is heavy rain! (So will now be just drinking wine in a tent... what a disappointment!
)

It'll have to rain for weeks to get our Essex clay revived, but it's a start - and I don't want it to rain for weeks - unless it's overnight
