Wet here today in soggy mid-South Wales but the forecast shows the
rain clearing tomorrow from the east which is good as I'll be working
east of here in the morning and then going further east in the
afternoon.

Then, if the Met Office is to be believed, dry until at least 27 July.

Trouble is that I'll then be able to get out into the garden and,
after a few dry days, get onto the borders and beds (clay soil so
waterlogged at the moment) to clear out the dead stuff. I'll be crying
as I do it! Anything herbaceous looks like living without flowering at
best; a lot is clearly rotting from the ground up.


Oh, Jake I feel so sorry for you. At least I don't have those problems.

But I know a lot of people have been a lot worse off than me so
hey-ho, there's always next year.


True enough but it doesn't mean I can't be heart sorry for you!

If we get any good weather up here, i will chase it down to you!

Atm we have strong winds. Sun/showers a mix.
