Sunny today - still no rain. Grass is turning to straw in places and the water butts are empty. I don't think it's been this dry since 2011 / 12 when we ended up with a hosepipe ban. Yet people not that far away (relatively speaking) are complaining that they can't garden because it's too wet / raining again.
What a strange little island this is - no wonder we're obsessed with the weather.
Cartmel is a lovely little town Doc - lots of interesting buildings / history stuff. Haven't been to the restaurant yet. Think it's a bit like the Three Chimneys on Skye used to be (may still be - don't know). First rate food but really friendly and informal ambience. Perfect.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Hi all.
Snap re the weather, heating going back on.
Never mind, a delivery of plants today will cheer me up, just got to find room in the greenhouse for them.
OH's birthday in 2 weeks and have just managed to book dinner at L'enclume in Cartmel, a place we have wanted to go for a while.
Have a good day.

Morning all.
My plug plants have arrived!
Will spend the morning potting in the GH. Hope it isn't too hot.
L'Enclume looks very haute cuisine. I hope you have a lovely meal, punkdoc. Not sure I'd like raw scallops though.
Morning all.
Dry after a wet and windy night.
Pat - email from Darwin ; windy, deluge after deluge, cold (22o) and mirrors all misted up today with cold air condensing.
Tropical cold is our warmth!!!
Lunching out with the 'girls'
Nice choice punkdoc. I really want a T. Rex.
Chicky, I've just googled Natasha. Is it Natasha Richardson? if so, she's lovely.
