It's horrible!
It has been the most *awful* day here - howling gale and lashing rain all
day since about 11am. It's still going on now. We seem to get at least one of these as soon as the poor old rooks are completing their nests, sometimes after they've got chicks, too and heaven only knows what goes through their minds as they get hurled about the tree tops. Amazingly, we had some hardy customers in today - they really must be the dedicated gardening types! I hope others have had a rather more pleasant day and that his blows off, out to sea pdq! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |

Went out for a paper and a bag of spuds earlier, and the wind was light, the sky was grey and patchy, with not quite enough blue to molish a pair of sailor's pants. Got showered on while returning. It's been dry ever since, but the wind has risen a lot. I ferar it's going to be persisting down tonight... -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

I'm a bit further south, and possibly a bit further east then you Rusty. That shower hit me while I was putting the windows in to our new allotment shed! It's been dry ever since, but the wind has risen a lot. I ferar it's going to be persisting down tonight... It certainly is here! The cat who thinks she's a cut above the rest [Grandma was a Siamese donchtaknow] has been complaining about the rain and it's blowing enough to rattle the cat flap. -- Kathy It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider. |

Wind got into the workshop and unmantled the Twinwall cover I had over the more tender plants - it was square offcuts held together with gaffer tape. I just hope the wind abates, but we don't get a frost. -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk |

Here on the East Coast it has been a lovely day, as usual. Not a lot of sunshine but I have been out in the garden planting raspberry canes and unearthing some delphinium plants that got missed last year - they are just beginning to shoot - now where shall I put them....? Oh yes and in the windless day yesterday I burned the old growth on the pampas plumes. |

Not so good late in the day but this morning I finished digging the allotment, looks lovely, like a soft brown pillow. Now goodness knows what all this rain will do, probably undo all my hard work and cap the silt/clay soil again. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Sorry Sacha but looking at Meteox it doesn't seem that your wish will be granted - well not for a few hours anyway.
