It has been a perfect day weather-wise here. Enough sun &strong breeze to dry washing in no time but I did mine very early and dried it indoors because I went to work today (do one Sat in four).
It's still bright and sunny, pleasantly warm & I feel mellow. Long may it continue.
Seriously Rob, every time we've taken a holiday in the westward parts of this isle, we've been deluged with all sorts of rain and sleet.
One year there was a country wide drought including the west country, there were stand pipes everywhere and as we were beginning to approach our destination the water was flooding the sides of the roads water was splashing everywhere, I reckon someone has put a curse on us, anyway it wouldn't be much different if someone had.
Another year we had a week there it rained for most of the time we were there other than four hours dry time on one day.
The last time it was very unwelcoming an overcast for a couple of days then it started to throw down hailstones to about two inches thick, we took a vote and all came home on the third day.
Much as the west is a beautiful place you'd have a job to drag me anywhere near there ever again, I can live quite well without so much wet weather; oh yes, as we went around the M25 north travelling eastwards, returning from that last time visit, the sun broke out and by the time we arrived home it was blazing hot.
Beautiful as it is in the west, you are welcome to my share of it; we do laugh about it now and offer our drought breaking expertise to all those living in the west, if it's ever needed and of course there would have to be a small fee involved; all of the above is the absolute truth, we can hardly believe it ourselves.
