So much for a year of drought, so far this month we have had over 8 inches
of rain.... that's in sunny Swansea area of South Wales.
Over 1 inch today and it's still raining.

Here in West Yorkshire we have had hardly any rain over Christmas and maybe
be looking at sprinkler bans in the new year.

Yes that's Swansea though isn't it!!!!

I used to live there . . . I love it to this day, it's where many of my most
"formative" years were spent, it's beautiful.

But we had a saying when I was there, that if you stand on Swansea bay and
you can see the Mumbles light-house, that means that it's going to rain.

And if you stand on Swansea bay and can't see the light-house . . . that
means it's raining!!!!!


Happy New Year

Lol maybe I am exaggerating ;-) Swansea in the sun is just beautiful.
Sitting on a bench in the gardens by the Patti Pavilion, with the soft sound
of Swansea sea washing up on the beach nearby . . . it brings a tear to the
eye. I try to go there every year for a week or two, it's sort of "touching
base" for my soul. They have palm trees and allsorts down there now, thanks
to global warming, I think.

Newport eh? The town of my birth. Well, someone has to be born there ;-) do
you remember the transporter bridge? One of only two in Britain, apparently.

BTW Martin I hope you don't think the "Andy H" who posted under "UK

of rain.... that's in sunny Swansea area of South Wales.
Over 1 inch today and it's still raining.

Remarkable! I don't measure, but I'm sure we've had nothing like that
Carmarthen way. I've been looking at stars several times this week;
but it's been raining for a couple of hours tonight.

".........Newport eh? The town of my birth. Well, someone has to be born
there ;-) do you remember the transporter bridge? One of only two in
Britain, apparently........."

And as you drive from Cardiff towards Newport on the M4 you can see the
bridge off to the left at around 2 to 3 o'clock (Directional not time)

And as I write this, it's raining ........again.

I also think that you may have trouble standing ..ON... Swansea Bay.
From the Nursery I can see the Mumbles Light house.

It may have been "The rolling English drunkard that made the rolling English
roads" but it is "Welsh Water" that has made Birmingham what it is today.
Little did the Welsh know that when the English parliament said "Dam Wales"
that they intended to flood so many of the valleys in so doing.

Happy New Year to all.
