At last - the thirsty garden needs it, we've been watering the pots so it's very welcome. Let's hope it will dampen down any wildfires too.

But, of course, it's the first day of the school holidays!

If only we could turn it on overnight and off in the day-time.

There was rain overnight but it was very windy here!!
The sky is darkening again now and the wind has died down a bit.

Let the cat out at 2.45am ( don’t ask!) and it was hammering it down. None since then and OH watered everything last night!

No more rain but plenty of wind. It's cloudy but bright, sun's just peeking through. .

It rained her quite a lot yesterday afternoon, to the extent that the roads were flooded, but it's very windy today so I think it will dry out again very quickly. I only garden in pots now so it's simpler to keep the plants alive.

I don’t think it’s stop raining for any length of time since Tuesday here in Kirkintilloch

Rained much of yesterday. The woodland walk needed wellies for protection.
Today it’s fine and sunny again, but only 11°.

Well, it would be raining in south Wales, wouldn’t it?
Here in southern England we’ve had almost none for the last two months. The grass is as brown as late summer but still the trees are bursting into leaf and blossom.

True 😄

Wales and some schools in England on the border broke up last Friday. 🙂
