For the first time this year.

We keep getting rain forecast, but it never seems to turn up although
the
rest of the country seems to be getting rain.

There was rain forecast for Wednesday, but again it seems to have
changed
its mind and gone elsewhere.

Is someone out there in the west stealing our rain?

Grass is brown and I am browned off ;-)

The ground is hard and dusty as well.

Cheers

I hope you took cover while typing that! we have had barely a weeks sun
all summer and have had rain every single day since June

You lucky, lucky b*stard!

You could always move to a coastal resort with regular fine weather and a
dry microclimate. :-))


Like Cornwall? ;-))


No, like Felixstowe! [Where it is actually raining for once :-}]


Serves you right. ;-) Some of our family are in the Isle of Wight
atm and say it was dry and warm there today, if not actually sunny.
Wish we could say the same here, though it wasn't cold, I will admit!
