Then I tried the 'rest of 2005' link, which turned out in fact to be the
next 12 months - and found nothing but rain, with just a few isolated
sunny periods - now, that would really depress me, if I believed it....

Klara, Gatwick basin

I do hope Gatwick Basin has a plug, then, and that you can find it.

We're right at the bottom of the basin, sitting on the plug :-((
If we pulled it, the whole region would go down the hole!

Often 2 miles in any direction is warm and dry and sunny, while we
shiver in the fog.

Ah, I expect that's why they put an international airport there.

Strikes me as a strange place for our ancestors to choose to have a goat farm.

Poor you! I often have the reverse - I sit on the inside edge of a
horse-shoe shaped ridge on the Chilterns, and quite often I am in
sunshine and can see fog and rain and cloud all around. But I also get a
lot more wind which makes it harder to grow many things until I can grow
a shelter belt - another 15-25 years!!

Weather forecasts often apply all around me, but not to my own little
patch which has its own ideas. But then that's micro climates for you,
and we all live in them :-)

That's what happens: desperate to move out of our tiny third-floor
London flat once I couldn't get the pushchair down the stairs, we hit a
property boom: houses had gone before we ever got the particulars and
prices shot up every week, so we made an instant decision on the best we
could get under the circumstances. Thirty years and two more babies
later, here we still are. Though not the girls, of course: they've all
gone to live on south-facing, sunny hillsides. But until we retire there
seems to be no time to think about moving....
