        It has rained all day Saturday and Sunday and there's a stiff breeze too. There are a lot of outside events going on at this time of year, so it's very sad that they're being rained on. Still, at least it's good for our drought-stricken gardens which aren't looking quite so parched now.

        Yup, I'll have 6 weeks with my kids watching my lovely garden get waterlogged. But my youngest starts school in September so I'll be able to rescue some Autumn colour hopefully!.

        It really has been bucketing it down! And bringing out the slugs.... :gaagh:
