        12 hours??? We were lucky to get half that! It didn't start raining properly until about 1pm then it rained almost all the time till around 7pm. Fortunately though it has been "good" rain - the type that sinks more into the soil rather than running off like it does with heavy downpours or thundery downpours.

        Last night before going to bed I watered my hanging baskets as I wasn't really expecting much in the way of rain - I should have more faith perhaps in the weather forecasters! :dunno:

        Tomorrow we have a yellow warning for very strong winds in place & as this street is very windy I will have to move my standard Fuchsia further in to try to avoid damage as much as possible.

              We had light rain on and off for a lot of the day.

              This morning it was extremely mild at 17C when I went out at 4.30 to have a chat with the dawn chorus. There wasn't the slightest breeze then but it is picking up now as we're approaching 5 a.m. According to the forecast it will be hibernation day today.

                          We had 30+ mm of rain yesterday and a gust of wind blew part of the Buddleja davidi off.
                          Today sunny intervals, strong winds, showery some thundery. Max temperature around 17°C.

                                Morning a wild, wet and windy night last night, we now sit right on the edge of a weather front, one end of the house is under black cloud and tipping it down with rain whilst at the other end the sun is blazing into the conservatory from the east, most odd.
