      Sunny, warm and humid today, temperature reached around 20C, the first time this year, but it's not set to last long.

      I've just checked our long range forecast, rain for the next eight days. Hibernation it is then. :snooze:

      I 'remember', in the late 1800's, when the pea souper fogs were called 'London Particular' :heehee: :old:. I also remember (properly, this time) the pea souper of 1952 when they reckon it killed 4,000 Londoners. :hate-shocked:

          Batten down the hatches Loli, sounds like it's on it's way. Fingers crossed it's not too bad and you don't have to pump the garden again.

              Well shortly after nightfall the rain came and its been tipping it down all night and it it was very heavy a little while ago but is just easing off at the moment, how long for though ???:dunno:

              It was a very warm and humid night, hopefully the rain will freshen things up a bit..

              The plants have loved the heat of the last few days and the steady drizzle we've had since 4.30 will have them jumping for joy. It's 60F out there at the moment.
