Default End of summer?

unusual for us. Today is cloudy and humid, so the flies and other
insects must be flying quite low, judging by the height the swallows
are feeding at.

And there's an old wives tale with some truth, when the Swallows fly low
rain is due, even the Met Office agrees with this.
Tonight and Tomorrow looks wet here in Beds, hope it clears by Saturday
evening as I am of to see an open air concert with Status Quo.

It wouldn't surprise us if it did rain. I've heard that saying, too and
certainly experience has borne it out, so Ray is mowing some grass in
the field now. X fingers for your concert!
