        We have steady constant rain with a gentle breeze, it is doing the ground good as it is soaking in, not just running off, the garden and fields/woods look really full of life rather than battered by the heavy stuff..................................I can still hear the grass growing though..................:biggrin:

          I always enjoy the days when it's good enough for gardening, but not good enough for barbecues etc!

            Just had a torrential downpour with hail as well it only lasted about 10 minutes but the ground cant absorb it and lots of standing water.
            Brilliant sunshine now but its still feeling cold, absolute disaster so far this "summer".

            So much for the forecasted better day today.

                Short sharp showers seems to be the theme here for this weekend. I arrived home on Friday evening in the middle of one, we had several yesterday and more today. They look dramatic but don't usually amount to a lot of rainfall - 8mm on Friday but only 4mm yesterday and 1mm so far today.

                          High of 28,3c but a constant nice breeze. 23,7c now with a breath of breeze, very pleasant.

                            We've been away for a week and a friend has been coming in daily to water plants in the greenhouse, under cover (lots of those) and our nursery areas. They said there was only one day that had rain. The veg plot had suffered from lack of rain so I had to put the sprinkler on. Ground is cracking up everywhere.

                            A neighbour had also been coming in every day to feed the birds. He said the feeders were being completely emptied each day and he wondered whether we had all the birds in the area making regular visits :heehee: They're getting through at least 20kg a month! :rolleyespink:

                            It was very sunny and quite hot in the sun and 22C in the shade.

                            It's a bit nippy out there this morning but was light enough at 2.45 a.m. to be able to wander around the garden and chat to the wild life.

                              It started grey yesterday, but the sun came out at 9 while being busy in the garden.
                              Today 21c and a mix of sunshine and clouds, and no gusts to expert.
                              Weather in the next days will be perfect. Not warm enough for ice cream, but excellent for cycling.

                                It's always warm enough for ice cream - even in the middle of winter. :thumbsup:
