Another wet, windy day starts! I'm beginning to wonder if this is
inevitable Devon County Show weather but friends who called in yesterday
after a trip to Cornwall, told us that if ever we have a drought, all we
have to do is invite them to stay!

Terrible weather here in Wadebridge, North Cornwall. Very wet and windy
with the forecast promising more for the rest of the week. And next
month it will be Royal Cornwall Show, and I can assure you it will rain
then.

Chucking it down here on the Isle of Wight :-((

I've never managed to get to that Show and have always wanted to. If it's
fine, we might do it this time.
We were asked to exhibit there last year but it's a bit of a schlep and
expensive to do so, quite honestly.

Raining again here in Derbyshire.

I'm glad of it for the opportunity to fill the water butts, but the
weather bods on the radio are starting to talk about floods already,
after a week or so of largely intermittent rain!

My theory is that we've shuffled the months - we had May last month, so
now April's here :-)

The year's going backwards, as someone has said! Today, we've had pouring
rain, showers, glimmers of sunshine, some wind, pouring rain and now it's
just sort of neutral.

All or nothing in this country but at least this rain has enabled me to get
all my plot dug and rotovated into a decent tilth. Before the rain it was
like concrete.
It's also allowed me not to have to water my recently planted cabbages etc.
Unfortunately it also means that as we couldn't get out on the plot today we
went to the Citrus Centre in Pullborough and spend money on a good sized
Grapefruit Tree for us, and another Tahiti Lime, a present for a friend.

The Royal Cornwall Show is OK and I've always enjoyed it if I'm in the area,
although it's not a patch on the Southern Counties Show at Ardingly IMO.

We've already had more than the average amount of rain for May in West
Cornwall, and we're only half way through the month (over an inch on
Saturday). But we did need it, and if it soaks the soil in depth to
help us get through what may be another dry summer, I'm not
complaining.
