I know that various parts of the country have been badly affected by the non-stop rain recently, and we have suffered here in the South East too. But my main complaint is the continual torrential wind!
I know I sound like an old grump, but I am sick and tired of it. Even on the occasional sunny day, the wind is blowing a gale in our garden making it very unpleasant to spend any time out there pottering, planting and planning. My delphiniums, lupins, penstemons and other perennial plants are growing at an alarming angle because they are constantly blown sideways! The poor Acer which I bought last year has had its new leaves shrivelled by the constant blast, even though it is in what I thought was a sheltered spot right next to the house in a corner of the patio. We live at the top of a hill with woods at the bottom of the garden but I wouldn't describe our house or garden as "exposed" as we are quite sheltered by other houses on both sides.
I'm sure that it never used to be this windy even when we moved here 20-odd years ago. Has anyone else had the same problems with excessively windy weather over the last 10 years or so?
It’s been a while so I will start us off…….whats for supper and why?
How do you hang your washing out?
