The message
from "shazzbat" contains these words:

We've just had our first rain for a fortnight :-))

Five minutes worth :-))

Ah well. It was finally dry enough to cut the grass here, though the
ground is still so wet from the weekend storm that sitting on the grass
is still out of the question.

Does anyone else think Britain's north/south climates are more
different than they used to be? Whatever's going on in the middle bit?
