Since the heatwave broke we have had 3.25 inches of rain and it
is
tipping it down again as I write
I would have been quite happy if it had stoped at the 2 inches
Yesterday when the sun was out the ground was steaming,

I mist the best as I had to go in for the camera.
You "mist" the best??? Groan.
Not like you to be funny :-)

We have had torrential downpours here this morning - one was so
loud we woke me up. It's now raining heavily and steadily. So -
end of summer? I do hope not. We went to have a party in the
garden to celebrate Ray's 60 years in horticulture and a party
indoors doesn't seem as appropriate somehow!
It's sunny here this morning, so fingers crossed, hey, Sacha.
Congratulations to Ray.

Sorry to follow my own post. Some people I know were up here in
Barnet last night and I mentioned the lovely weather we had been
having. They grumped about the awful week they had last week in Devon.


It's such a pity it's turned quite so drastically just at the start of
the tourist season. We have to hope and pray what we'd like to think
of as 'normal service' is resumed asap!


I suppose the up-side is, they can all visit your tea-room and spend
lots of money Can't all be bad but I still hope we are going to have
the lovely summer we were promised.
